ABSTRACT
Environmental pollution is one of the major threats across the globe due to the rapid growth of industries, technologies, and urbanization. Development in the manufacturing and production sector has increased pollution momentously. Hazardous pollutant sources, such as heavy metals, pesticides, pathogens, and other contaminants released in the surroundings are primarily responsible for the pollution of the environment and can cause significant influences on the well-being of humans. Nanotech is the upcoming area which needs to be integrated with environmental pollution. The convergence of nanotechnology and biosensors is an effective alternative to the conventional analytical technique to analyze minute details in the environment. Biosensors are considered as potential devices to recognize the analyte. In recent years, nanomaterials have been implied for biosensor applications due 264to their characteristic features. Integration of carbon-based nanomaterials (CBNs) such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphene oxide, and carbon nanowires can be used with biosensors for monitoring, sensing, and rapid detection of environmental pollutants.
