Abstract :

Water contamination and environmental pollution is considered as a main concern in global healthissues. Considering the large number of chemical and microbial contaminants released to theenvironment, in particular those from agricultural origin, effective tools of detection are required forprevention of challenges involved in health and safety. Biosensors offer rapid and effective detectionoptions to control biological hazards. These are recognized as beneficial devices in providing accurate,sensitive and rapid analytical results in quantitative and qualitative detection of pollutants. This paperis summarizes the advances in development and application of biosensors for environmental analysisand quantification of contaminants initiated from agricultural procedures
