Embedding Nano-adsorbents Within Gross Pollutant Traps (GPTs): A Review
Gross pollutants (GPs) in storm water runoff have increased the number of harmful contaminants as a result of complete and incomplete decomposition of organic and non-organic matters. The addition of adsorbents may enhance the performance of GPTs as an on

Preface
Advances in nanotechnology have led to the creation of new materials and devices with a vast range of applications in biomedicine, biomaterials, biosensors, nanoelectronics, energy production, food safety, consumer products, among many others. With new researches, there is rapidly increasing list of benefits and applications of nanotechnology. Growing popularity of nanotechnology depends on the fact that it is possible to tailor the structures of materials at extremely small scales to achieve specific properties. Nano-bioengineering of enzymes is aiming to enable conversion of cellulose into ethanol for fuel. Novel nanomaterials are being employed as support for enzyme immobilization to improve stability and efficiency of industrial biocatalysts. Cellulosic nanomaterials have demonstrated potential applications in a wide array of industrial sectors, including electronics, construction, packaging, food, energy, health care, automot
