Abstract :

Due to the importance of measurement and monitoring of environmental pollutants, the amount of exposure and the need to reduce environmental risks for humans and living organisms, the use of chemometrics in environmental studies has increased over the past two decades. These applications are designed to test and prove the power of dedicated data processing techniques and the availability of suitable software with broad applications in this field. In this review study, we have discussed aspects of the ability of chemometrics methods in gathering environmental data and measuring hazardous pollutants. Considering the advantages of multivariate methods and chemometrics, it is expected that it can be more effective in solving difficult problems and extracting useful information. As environmental monitoring continues to monitor complex pollutant mixtures, the use of advanced chemometrics approaches will be important to gain comprehensive insight into the following of the pollutants in environmental or biological systems. Future prospects and challenges in the application of chemometrics show the great potential of these methods to enhance environmental monitoring and pollutant analysis. Integration of big data, machine learning, advance hyperspectral imaging, sensor fusion, and uncertainty quantification can be considered as emerging and innovative approaches in environmental chemometrics.
