Abstract
AbstractThe recent advances in lipid membrane biosensors gave the ability to provide devices to detect trace of environmental pollutants in real samples. Nanotechnology provided sensors with increased selectivity and sensitivity, portability, ease of construction, rapid response times, etc. This chapter reviews recent advances in biosensor technologies for environmental pollutant monitoring. A large number of applications are described herein, clarifying some recent advances in the technology of these devices such as miniaturization, new sensing techniques, and nanotechnology-based transduction schemes. A wide range of environmental toxicants can be monitored and these compounds include toxins, hormones, dioxins, PAHs, etc. As a result, the commercialization capabilities of these biosensors are given in the present chapter.Keywords Lipid membrane biosensors Environmental pollutants Nanobiosensors Environmental analysis Nanotechnology
