Abstract:		"Developing new polymer membranes with excellent thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability has shown great potential for various environmental remediation applications such as wastewater treatment and air filtration. Polymer membranes have been widely investigated over the past years and utilized to overcome severe ecological issues. Membrane-based technologies play a critical role in water purification and air filtration with the ability to act efficiently and sustainably. Electrospun nanofiber membranes have displayed excellent performance in removing various contaminants from water, such as bacteria, dyes, heavy metals, and oil. These nanofibrous membranes have shown good potential to filter the air from tiny particles, volatile organic compounds, and toxic gases. The performance of polymer membranes can be enhanced by fine-tuning polymer structure, varying surface properties, and strengthening overall membrane porosity. In this review, we discuss the involvement of electrospun nanofibrous membranes in different environmental remediation applications. It further reviews the recent progress of polymer membrane development by utilizing nanoparticles and naturally occurring polymers"
