Disposable Sensor for Environmental Pollutants Detection

Environmental pollution is a major concern for mankind as today’s uncontrolled pollution destroys the standard of living of future generations. Though environmental monitoring systems are available, the time taken for analysis becomes a hurdle for technicians to react quickly. The recent development in sensors focuses on point-of-care testing which leads to the development of disposable sensors. Disposable electrochemical sensors are a new class of sensors that offers high sensitivity and selectivity in the real-time working environment. This chapter focuses on the recent developments in disposable electrochemical sensors for environmental monitoring.
