Sensors and Biosensors for Environment Contaminants

The growing environmental pollution especially in reference to toxic heavy elements, emerging contaminants, and further perilous agents is a severe global alarm. Being a worldwide concern, there is a crucial necessity to plan, propose, and develop tactical measuring practices with greater efficacy and precision for detection of a broader spectrum of various pollutants. Moreover, developing accurate and reliable tools can assist the in-process and the real-time monitoring of generated or released environmental contaminants from a process. Furthermore, real-time monitoring has the advantage of minimizing the high consumption of numerous hazardous chemicals and reagents along with a superior benefit of on-site analysis of pollutant composition before being released to the environment. Through the vital scientific progresses and green synthesis of nanoparticles, electrochemical sensors/biosensors have gained significant consideration as a strong solution to pollution detection and monitoring. Electrochemical sensors/biosensors can be an outstanding analytical tool for monitoring and detection programs. Electrochemical sensors/biosensors and other related sciences (Bio-nanotechnology and bioelectronics) are currently flourishing fields that will significantly impact developing novel and innovative sensing techniques and consequently environmental analysis approaches in future.
