Analytical Detection of Pesticides, Pollutants, and Pharmaceutical Waste in the Environment

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Nanosensors for Environmental Applications

Part of the book series: Environmental Chemistry for a Sustainable World ((ECSW,volume 43))

Abstract

The rapid population growth and industrialization have led to widespread use of pesticides, drugs, personal care products, and dyes, some of which are so-called emerging contaminants (ECs). These compounds have obviously brought great benefits in controlling diseases and for increasing agricultural and industrial production, but their indiscriminate use has caused problems to human health and the environment. They can be found in surface water and groundwater at concentrations from ng L−1 to mg L−1, which may seem negligible. However, some contaminants can accumulate or transform in other more toxic products in the human body and induce such problems as antibiotic resistance. Unfortunately, since there is no regulation for some emerging contaminants, they are not monitored in the environment or cannot be detected with conventional analytical techniques.

The purpose of this chapter is to present the state-of-the-art methodology for detecting the emerging contaminants, e.g., pesticides and pharmaceutical products. The chapter will be divided into subtopics – pesticides, pollutants, and pharmaceutical waste – with adverse environment effects also commented upon. The analytical methodologies for detection will be highlighted, with emphasis on recent advances in sensors and biosensors that may offer low-cost, sensitive, selective, and accurate analysis.
