Unraveling the hazardous impact of diverse contaminants in the marine environment: Detection and remedial approach through nanomaterials and nano-biosensors
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines nanomaterial-based approaches for detecting and remediating diverse marine contaminants including microplastics, heavy metals, and organic pollutants, highlighting nano-biosensors as promising tools for environmental monitoring.
Marine pollution is one of the most underlooked forms of pollution as it affects most aquatic lives and public health in the coastal area. The diverse form of the hazardous pollutant in the marine ecosystem leads the serious genetic level disorders and diseases which include cancer, diabetes, arthritis, reproductive, and neurological diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and several microbial infections. Therefore, a recent alarming study on these pollutants, the microplastics have been voiced out in many countries worldwide, it was even found to be in the human placenta. In recent times, nanomaterials have demonstrated their potential in the detection and remediation of sensitive contaminants. In this review, we presented a comprehensive overview of the source, and distribution of diverse marine pollution on both aquatic and human health by summarizing the concentration of diverse pollutions (heavy metals, pesticides, microbial toxins, and micro/nano plastics) in marine samples such as soil, water, and seafood. Followed by emphasizing its ecotoxicological impact on aquatic animal life and coastal public health. Also discussed are the applicability and advancements of nanomaterials and nano-based biosensors in the detection, prevention, and remediation of diverse pollution in the marine ecosystem.

Biosensors in environmental analysis of microplastics and heavy metal compounds – A review on current status and challenges
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines how biosensors -- devices that use biological materials to detect pollutants -- could provide faster and cheaper monitoring of microplastics and heavy metals in the environment. Current methods for detecting microplastics are expensive and time-consuming, so biosensor technology could help track contamination more widely. Better environmental monitoring is an important step toward reducing the microplastic exposure that ultimately affects human health.
