Abstract
There have been major advancements in the fields of science and technology, one of them is nanotechnology. Wastewater is a serious issue in society, various methods have been used to tackle this problem. One approach is by use of nanobiosensors are being utilized in the treatment of wastewater because of their advantages like high absorption capability, better membrane filtration, and high monitoring output. Moreover, biosensors are classified into various types which have their associated advantages. This chapter brings an extensive literature collation that gives a systematic understanding of biosensors, nanotechnology, and the utilization of nanobiosensors to manage wastewater treatment with its future aspects.
