Abstract

Indoor air pollution is a great source of health risks for indoor population. Various indoor pollution removal strategies have been developed and employed to enhance indoor air quality. Polymeric nanocomposites have emerged as efficient adsorbent materials for the removal of indoor air pollutants. Conversely, the efficiency of traditional materials in removing indoor pollutants has been restricted due to poor adsorption capacity and low surface area. Predominantly, polymeric nanocomposites have been used to develop high-performance adsorption systems. This review briefly discussed advanced adsorption technologies for purifying the indoor air. Consequently, polymeric nanocomposite adsorbents have facilitated the achievement of safe indoor air quality level. This mini review is definitely helpful for the researchers working in this field to study, develop, and analyze better nanocomposite materials, compared with the traditional adsorbents..
