Abstract EN
Of global concern, environmental pollution adversely affects human health and socioeconomic development.
The presence of environmental contaminants, especially bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens and their toxins as well as chemical substances, poses serious public health concerns.
Nanoparticle-based biosensors are considered as potential tools for rapid, specific, and highly sensitive detection of the analyte of interest (both biotic and abiotic contaminants).
In particular, there are several limitations of conventional detection methods for water-borne pathogens due to low concentrations and interference with various enzymatic inhibitors in the environmental samples.
The increase of cells to detection levels requires long incubation time.
This review describes current state of biosensor nanotechnology, the advantage over conventional detection methods, and the challenges due to testing of environmental samples.
The major approach is to use nanoparticles as signal reporter to increase output rather than spending time to increase cell concentrations.
Trends in future development of novel detection devices and their advantages over other environmental monitoring methodologies are also discussed.
