Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water is fundamental to sustaining life on Earth; however, increased anthropogenic activities have led to its contamination, adversely affecting aquatic biodiversity and exacerbating water scarcity. While chemicals are integral to daily human activities, certain substances pose significant risks to aquatic flora, fauna, and human health. Biosensors offer a promising approach for both detecting and remediating heavy metals and pesticides in environmental resources. They provide a sensitive, rapid, and cost-effective alternative to traditional methods for monitoring pollution and can be integrated into remediation strategies. This topical collection aims to advance biosensor technologies for detecting and remediating heavy metals and pesticides, enhancing environmental resource management. It seeks to foster innovative solutions for real-time monitoring and sustainable pollution control.
This topical collection will explore innovative research at the intersection of Environmental Resource Management, protection and environmental restoration. It seeks to address:
- Novel biosensor designs for sensitive and selective detection of heavy metals and pesticides.
- Bioremediation strategies using biosensors for real-time monitoring and pollutant removal.
- Nanotechnology and synthetic biology approaches in biosensor development.
- Applications in water, soil, and air quality monitoring.
- Electrochemical Biosensors for Detection.
- Case studies on field deployment and scalability of biosensor technologies.
- Environmental and regulatory implications of biosensor use in pollution control.
The goal of this topical collection is to promote cutting-edge research on biosensors for the detection and remediation of heavy metals and pesticides, driving innovative, sustainable solutions for environmental resource management and pollution control.
