Biosensors for Sustainable Environmental Management and Pollution Control

This book presents a comprehensive overview of the development, deployment, and future potential of biosensors in addressing environmental challenges in the water and soil compartments. The water pollution section focuses on biosensors for detecting heavy metals, pesticides, and microbial contaminants in drinking water, wastewater, and natural water bodies. The soil pollution section highlights biosensors designed for real-time detection of agrochemicals, toxic metals, and nutrient imbalances, alongside tools for assessing soil health and fertility. Across both sections, this book covers the application of advanced materials, biorecognition elements, and signal transduction mechanisms. It also examines the integration of biosensors with IoT and remote sensing technologies, enabling scalable and intelligent environmental monitoring systems. This book is an invaluable resource for researchers, engineers, and environmental scientists dedicated to protecting and managing environmental health through modern sensing solutions.
