Abstract

In recent years, people have become more and more interested in biomonitoring. It is very important to clearly understand what happens to organisms when pollutants enter the environment, and the research of nanotechnology in the field of biomonitoring helps to achieve these Target. Environmental biotechnology has a wide range of applications. This paper takes water pollution control in the field of environmental biomonitoring as an example, uses nanobubble technology to remove and treat water pollution in a river, and analyzes the removal rate of this technology on water chemical oxygen demand, nitrogen, phosphorus, etc. It reflects the application effect of this technology in sewage treatment. Experiments show that the CODcr, NH4+-N, TN, and TP in the treated river all show a downward trend, and the removal rate is about 30%-50%, indicating that the nanobubble repair technology can improve the water quality of the river and achieve certain environmental benefits.
