Review—Trends in Recent Developments in Electrochemical Sensors for the Determination of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons from Water Resources and Catchment Areas

Abstract

In recent years the scientific community showed an increasing interest for implementing new, rapid, sensitive and cheaper detection methods that are far better than the classical methods of quantification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), especially with the progress in synthesis of nanomaterials that can be successfully used for the design of electrochemical sensors. This review aims to discuss the latest research activities of the last five years regarding the electrochemical sensing for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from aqueous resources and catchment areas.
