This book presents the latest research on the development and applications of the emerging technology of biosensors, with a particular emphasis on biosensors in environmental contexts. In the first part, key issues in the environmental deployment of biosensors are reviewed. Topics discussed include biosensors for food safety, in the agri-food business and for water monitoring. Technologies such as enzyme-based phenol biosensors and hybrid film biosensors are also outlined. In part two, the applications of biosensors for health, environment and biosecurity are considered. Topics include label-free biosensors for health applications, sol-gel technology in biosensors and light-addressable potentiometric sensors. In part three, the state of the art is reviewed in relation to both environmental and medical applications. Subjects explored include impedimetric immunosensors for pesticide detection, novel DNA biosensors, and novel transistors based on functionalized GaN. Offering insights from recognized experts around the world, this is a stimulating and future-oriented book that will be an essential resource for advanced students and researchers seeking the latest knowledge on biosensors in environmental application.
