Use Of Biosensors To Detect And Monitor Chemicals Commonly Used In Agriculture And Terrorist Weapons With The Goal Of Preventing Dangerous Environmental Consequences

  • Conference paper
Environmental Problems of Central Asia and their Economic, Social and Security Impacts

In this chapter, based on literature review and our own data analysis, biosensors were developed based on biosensor principles. Specifically, biosensors intended for the determination of total toxicity, gene toxicity, and for detecting groups of toxic elements and individual toxins are described in detail. The following individual toxins were singled out using biosensors: mycotoxins, phenol substances, surfactants, and cyanides, as well as formaldehyde and volatile carbonyls. These sensors can be used in environmental assessments to detect and monitor chemicals commonly used agriculture management, and even terrorist weapons.
