Carbon Materials for Organophosphate Pesticide Sensing

Organophosphates are mainly used as pesticides to protect crops from pests. Because organophosphate pesticides’ use has expanded dramatically worldwide, accurate monitoring of their concentrations in the environment and food become utmost importance. Once considered acutely toxic due acetylcholinesterase inhibition, nowadays organophosphates classified extremely dangerous compounds, with a broad spectrum toxicity types, by World Health Organization. Having mind extensive diverse harmful effects, it is necessary develop easy, rapid, highly sensitive methods for detection. Regardless numerous conventional techniques detection, construction portable sensors required make routine analysis possible. Extensive literature on different detection available. Many them rely various carbon materials. There many classes materials sensing element construction, well supporting This review focuses electrochemical optical based Special attention paid selectivity, sensitivity, stability, reusability reviewed sensors.
