Abstract

Electrochemical biosensors that combine high selectivity of biochemical affinity with precise electrochemical detection are one of the most necessary and powerful tools for assessing environmental pollution. This review addresses electrochemical biosensors that assess environmental pollutant toxicity. Electrochemical biosensors using enzyme activity inhibition, DNA, whole cells, and cytochrome P450 will be introduced, their advantages and applications will be discussed, and trends and challenges for designing reliable sensors for practical use will be addressed.
