Abstract

Evolution in the sensor design and their potential usage in water quality monitoring has revealed the aptitude of material science in the environment protection practices. Consequently, the progress in scientific literature is rising to tail consistent and sophisticated sensory platforms. In this context, colorimetric sensors are categorised as benchmarked sensor models, owing to their cost effectiveness in sensor design, ease of analysis, on-site pollutant monitoring capability, circumvents the use of multifaceted instrumentation and most importantly, user-friendliness. This chapter is focussed on the potential use of colorimetric sensors for the water-pollutant sensing and discusses the promising prospects of sensor developments (from choice of material to read-out tools) to assist nascent researchers to review the principles, mechanistic and advancements in existing trends in colorimetric sensory probes.
