"Biosensors for Environmental Monitoring" ed. by Toonika Rinken, Kairi Kivirand

This book introduces different biosensor-based technologies applied for environmental analyses.

Real-time and reliable detection of molecular compounds and bacteria is essential in modern environmental monitoring. For rapid analyses, biosensing devices combining high selectivity of biomolecular recognition and sensitivity of modern signal-detection technologies offer a promising platform. Biosensors allow rapid on-site detection of pollutants and provide potential for better understanding of the environmental processes, including the fate and transport of contaminants.
