Dissolved Heavy Metal Ions Monitoring Sensors for Water Quality Analysis

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Heavy metals are nonbiodegradable ions occurring in the environment, including water, which poses serious threats to human health. The new European Drinking Water Directive includes reduced thresholds for the presence of heavy metals in drinking water. The directive aims for high level of consumer protection and guidance for effective management, planning, and monitoring of water. This requires the development of detection techniques which are accurate and reliable for detecting heavy metals. This chapter summarizes recent advances in the development of electrochemical methods, and modifications that can detect trace level of heavy metal ions. It focuses on different electrochemical techniques and modifications which are based on metal, metal oxides, carbon nanoparticle, and biomolecules.
