Concerns about air quality in dental clinics where aerosol generation during procedures poses significant health risks, have prompted investigations on advanced disinfection technologies. This editorial describes the strengths and limitations of ventilation control measures offices, especially with respect to use graphene nanocomposites. The potential nanocomposites as an innovative solution aerosol-associated risks is examined this review due unique properties (e.g., high conductivity, mechanical strength, antimicrobial activity). These produced promising results various fields, but application dentistry remains unexplored. recent study by Ju et al which was published World Journal Clinical Cases evaluated effectiveness graphene-based systems clinics. demonstrated that techniques reductions suspended particulate matter bacterial colony counts, when compared traditional methods. Despite these positive results, challenges such material saturation, frequency filter replacement, associated costs must be addressed before widespread adoption clinical practice. Therefore, there need for further research structure optimization, long-term safety evaluations, broader applications, order maximize their impact public health.

Water pollution has become a serious threat to our ecosystem. contamination due human, commercial, and industrial activities negatively affected the whole world. Owing global demanding challenges of water treatments achieving sustainability, membrane technology gained increasing research attention. Although numerous materials have focused, sustainable purification membranes are most effective for environmental needs. In this regard sustainable, green, recyclable polymeric nanocomposite been developed. Materials fulfilling demands usually include wide-ranging polyesters, polyamides, polysulfones, recyclable/biodegradable petroleum polymers plus non-toxic solvents. Consequently, nanofiltration, microfiltration, reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, related filtration processes designed. Sustainable polymer manufactured using facile techniques. The resulting tested desalination, dye removal, ion separation, antibacterial wastewater. Environmental sustainability studies also pointed towards desired life cycle assessment results these membranes. Recycling treatment performed by three major mechanical recycling, chemical or thermal recycling. Moreover, use caused positive impacts safe waste treatment. Importantly, worth analyzed environmentally friendly applications. There is vast scope developing investigating countless polymers, materials, nanomaterials. Hence, value meet attain future clean
