Biosensors Application in Analysis of Environmental contaminants from Agricultural Industries

Water contamination and environmental pollution is considered as a main concern in global health issues. Considering the large number of chemical and microbial contaminants released to the environment, in particular those from agricultural origin, effective tools of detection are required for prevention of challenges involved in health and safety. Biosensors offer rapid and effective detection options 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 paper is summarizes the advances in development and application of biosensors for environmental analysis and quantification of contaminants initiated from agricultural procedures.
