What Are the Common Techniques Used for Detection?
Electrochemical Sensors: These sensors utilize nanomaterials to enhance the sensitivity and selectivity of electrochemical reactions, making them capable of detecting low-level pollutants. Optical Sensors: Nanoparticles such as gold and silver can amplify optical signals, thus enabling the detection of pollutants through changes in light absorption or emission. Biosensors: Combining biological elements with nanomaterials, these sensors can detect specific biological contaminants and chemical pollutants with high specificity.
