The environmental protection constitutes one of the pillars of the possible cohabitation between sustainable development and livable community in a modern society. Thanks to their ability to improve some characteristics of the material (such as strength, chemical reactivity and conductivity), nanomaterials are already widely used in a lot of applications, from toothpaste to batteries, from paints to the clothing. These materials are today able to significantly contribute to the industrial development in areas as the energy efficiency, transport and environmental protection. The responsibility for ensuring the safe use of nanomaterials is a primary need for the protection of public health.In this work a state of the art of the current nanobiotechnological applications to the environmental protectionare taken into account and important characteristics of nanomaterials are considered through a new appeared theoretical model, for possible future positive developments.
