Recent advances in biosensors for micro- and nanoplastics detection
Summary
This review examines biosensors using aptamer, antibody, whole-cell, and estrogen recognition elements for detecting microplastics and nanoplastics in environmental samples. The authors compare the strengths and limitations of each biosensor type across various sample matrices, providing a foundation for future monitoring of microplastic pollution.
Microplastics (MPs) pollution has become a major environmental issue due to their widespread presence and potential harmful effects on both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Reliable and efficient detection methods are crucial for identifying MPs in environmental samples, which helps in understanding their sources, distribution, and impacts. This review covers various biosensors (recognition elements: aptamer, antibody, whole cell, and estrogen) used to detect MPs. It discusses the strengths and limitations of each biosensor, as well as recent innovations. By comparing different biosensors and their applications across various sample types, this review aims to provide a foundation to guide future research and monitoring efforts.

Biosensors in environmental analysis of microplastics and heavy metal compounds – A review on current status and challenges
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.
