  • Description:
    The aim of this chapter is to provide details of the current state of the art and trends in the development of magnetic nanoparticles for environmental sensing applications, notably for the detection and removal of heavy metals and biological contaminants from complex samples. Recent advances in the use of nanoscale materials for environmental applications have been possible due to tremendous development efforts in the design and synthesis of engineered nanomaterials-that is, materials consisting of nanosized chemical domains and/or materials having extremely high surface areas arising from their nanoscale dimensions. In particular, attention will be focused on the synthesis, functionalization, and application of engineered magnetic nanoparticles (diameter <100nm in most cases) for the purpose of separating and detecting a wide variety of analytes from complex environmental and biological matrices. Recently, the use of functionalized magnetic nanoparticles in environmentally relevant applications, such as the selective capture and preconcentration of specific analytes from complex samples for sensitive detection, has been described in an increasingly large number of reports. In addition, methods to synthesize magnetic nanoparticles with the appropriate attributes for environmental sensing have been exhaustively reviewed in the recent past, and are summarized in Section 9.2.
