Abstract

Environmental monitoring describes the activities and processes which need to take place to monitor and characterize the environment quality. By influent toxicity biological wastewater treatment plants can be adversely affected. For biologically monitoring the environment, bioluminescent analysis is one of the most promising methods because the luminescent system is highly sensitive to even micro quantities of pollutants. Fundamental to these processes is the concept of bioavailability and bioaccessibility of these pollutants at a suitable and relevant scale. Environmental analyses are still based on chemical approaches that usually require an exhaustive extraction step before to chromatographic analysis. It is widely acknowledged that modeled values may be appropriate for human risk assessment but yield little information for hazard assessment in a wider ecological or environmental context. Many authors have demonstrated that chemical analysis alone does not provide information regarding the bioavailable fraction of compounds nor about their effects on selected biological receptors. Nano-biosensor-based biological assays can complement chemical analysis by considering the effects of all pollutants, including those not detected by chemical analysis or those unable to be fitted in a model. Some bioassays are suitable for biotesting of air, the chemical substances, soil, and water used in everyday life. This chapter aims to highlight the experimental and fundamentals insights and to emphasize next-generation luminescent nano-biosensors the yet-to-be-reached potential.
