Abstract

Lead is an inorganic element that is useful and also highly toxic and non-biodegradable. The poisonous effect of lead ions has been considered a significant public health disease, particularly in developing countries. Several techniques and public health measures have been undertaken to inhibit lead exposure; lead exposure is still continuously reported. This review paper provides recent updates describing the health effects of lead exposure and the methods for detecting lead in potable water. The increment of lead ions into water attracts attention due to its catastrophic impact on living organisms and the environment. The lead ions in water can be significantly detected using the electrochemical approach. The present review reports the details of the materials used for electrode design and its application to determine lead ions in water. The recent significant perspective, achievements, and challenges in sensing lead ions are presented in this paper.
