Abstract

The most important part of all kinds of life on Earth is water. The demand for drinking water is increasing due to water pollution and other natural causes. Different types of pollutants in water (metal ions, organic compounds, inorganic salts, pathogens, insecticides, pharmaceuticals) infect the human body and cause many diseases, and some pollutants can be carcinogenic and even fatal. Therefore, there is the need of the day to detect and monitor pollutants. However, many conventional methods are being used, but not all of them effective for sensing multiple harmful components in water. Recently, electrochemical sensing has evolved as potential tools to recognize heavy metal ions, organic chemicals, pesticides, and pathogens into water. The current review covers recent progress in electrochemical sensing of water pollutants, which is helpful for human health protection.
