This book provides a comprehensive overview on the most important types of nanosensor platforms explored and developed in the recent years for efficient detection of environmental/clinical analytes. The chapters cover basic aspects of functioning principles and describe the technologies and challenges of present and future pesticide, metal ions, toxic gases analytical sensing approaches and environmental sensors. Nanosensors are nanoscale miniature devices used for sensing of analyte in ultra-low range. These have gained considerable interest in environmental applications such as environmental chemistry and functionalization approaches, environmental engineering, sustainability, green technology for sensing, environmental health monitoring, pesticide detection, metal and ions detection using electrochemical and wireless sensor.

Satish Kumar Tuteja graduated with his PhD degree in Biosensor Engineering at Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Department of CSIR-CSIO, AcSIR of India in September 2016. His PhD thesis was on the development of nanostructures based ultra-sensitive electrochemical, biomedical and environmental biosensors. His research interests are in biosensor and diagnostic lab on a chip sensor development; surface functionalization and biointerface development; antibody and aptamer engineering for sensing, diagnostics and nanodevice fabrication. He completed his Mitacs Elevate Canada Post-doctoral fellowships at the BioNano Laboratory, University of Guelph, Canada and Currently, Dr. Satish is working as Senior Scientist (Alexander Von Humboldt Fellow) at Institute of Materials in Electrical Engineering1 (IWE1), RWTH University, Aachen, Germany and pursuing research on Cancer Diagnostics.
