Recent advances in biosensors for micro- and nanoplastics detection

AI summary Read the abstract

This review covers biosensors employing aptamer, antibody, whole-cell, and estrogen recognition elements for detecting microplastics and nanoplastics in environmental samples. By comparing different sensor types and their applications, the review aims to guide the development of more effective detection and monitoring tools for MP pollution.

Body Systems

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.
