Abstract
Environmental pollution is one of the important causes of the development of communicable diseases. Nowadays, environmental wellness has a major impact on human health conditions. As the major global change through an advanced transformation, environmental welfare is to be taken care of with utmost awareness and attention. However, an increasing number of harmful pollutants (chemicals, toxins, and pathogens) are still being discharged into the environment. In this circumstance, the diagnosis and vigilant monitoring of such environmental pollutants in the land, water, and air is very essential for the overall safety and security of humans, other animals, and plants. Biosensors are believed to be the most rapid and specific tools for better monitoring and detection of environmental pollutants and assessing precise health diagnoses and more. Bioreceptors are the key molecules in the biosensor platform responsible for specific detection. Immobilization of bioreceptors plays a vital role in the construction of highly sensitive biosensors. This chapter deals in detail with the various bioreceptor availability and immobilization strategies for common communicable diseases.
