Abstract
Environmental monitoring is essential to safeguard our planet's ecosystems, public health, and natural resources. Biosensors have emerged as powerful tools for assessing environmental parameters due to their sensitivity, specificity, and versatility. From the detection of pollutants to the monitoring of water and air quality, biosensors offer a wide array of applications that contribute to comprehensive environmental assessment. In this chapter, the principles, applications, and significance of biosensors in the context of environmental monitoring are explored in detail. Future prospects and challenges are discussed as well.
