Título: Miniaturized (bio)sensors in environment monitoring
Resumen: Water security is an important global issue for future generations. It is a multifaceted concept that combines wáter availability with the quality of the water’s chemical, biological, and physical characteristics to ensure its suitability and safety. Water quality is a focal aspect of water security. Due to increased practices in this sector that can compromise water quality, innovative technologies such as microfluidics are necessary to accelerate the timeline of test procedures. Microfluidic devices have emerged as advantageous tools for detecting environmental contaminants due to their portability, ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and rapid response capabilities. These devices have wideranging applications in environmental monitoring of air, water, and soil matrices, and have also been applied to agricultural monitoring. This chapter discusses devices for prominent contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, nutrients, microorganisms, etc. We cover numerous detection methods (electrochemical, colorimetric, fluorescent, etc.)
