Abstract

The contamination of water resources with lead ions poses a significant threat to environmental and human health, particularly in areas lacking cost-effective treatment solutions. This opinion highlights the promise of a sustainably developed Silver-Reduced Graphene Oxide (Ag-rGO) nanocomposite, synthesized using poultry waste, as an innovative approach to address this issue. The material exhibits high adsorption efficiency for Pb (II), underlining its potential for real-world application. Beyond performance, the synthesis method exemplifies green chemistry principles by transforming biological waste into functional materials. This piece discusses the scientific basis, environmental relevance, and practical implications of such nanocomposites, while also emphasizing the need for further research, policy integration, and cross-sector collaboration to ensure scalable implementation in water purification systems.
