Abstract

Contamination of environment due to indiscriminate use of herbicides poses severe risks to soil, water and air as well as human health. Therefore, need of easy, rapid and of low cost detection methods triggered the researcher to find out new technology. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), the synthetic materials are very useful in these circumstances. It offers several advantages to the environmental scientist, chemist, pharmaceutical, and agro food industry for analysis, sensoring, extraction, or preconcentration of analytes. The high toxicity of herbicides and their large use in modern agriculture practices has increased public concerns. In this review paper, imprinting and detection of herbicide, the recognition and transport properties of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) membranes prepared for herbicides such as Isoproturon and 2,4-D in particular have been discussed.
