Abstract

The rapidly growing existence of a number of contaminants (i.e. heavy metals, dye compounds, explosives and pesticides etc.) in environment is an alarming concern not only due to their harmful impacts for the environment bur also due to their potential high risk for human health. Thus, the careful and sensitive detection of these environmental contaminants is ver crucial. Electrochemical sensors combined with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) become an attractive area for environmental monitoring. Benefiting from their great features such as high chemical and physical stability, cheap preparation process, excellent selectivity, sensitivity and fast response towards the target compound/s. This review paper aims to present and highlight the latest progresses in the design and development of novel electrochemical sensor systems composed of MIPs and carbon paste electrodes (CPEs) for the sensitive detection of pollutants in environmental samples.
