Summary

This study reviews how nanomaterial-based electrochemical sensors can be used to detect tiny nanoplastic residues in water. Researchers found that these sensors offer a promising, practical approach for monitoring nanoplastic contamination in aquatic ecosystems. The findings suggest that advancing these detection tools is important for implementing effective water quality control measures.

Nanoplastic residues in our aquatic ecosystems poses a serious global concern which needs effective monitoring to implement actions and control measures. Electrochemical chemo(bio)sensors emerge as a promising tool for their detection to protect our global water and environmental resources.
