NMP.2013.1.2-1 Nanotechnology-based sensors for environmentalmonitoringOCEAN.2013-1 Biosensors for real time monitoring of biohazard

and man made chemical contaminants in the marine environment

• Objectives:• To develop a highly selective, sensitive, stabile and reusable a non-labeling

mechano-optical biosensor based on functional polymeric nanorod arrays.

• To design biosensor transducer with a very long shelf-life.

• To fabricate low-cost, affordable, mass-produced sensors, and to integrate these into components and systems for mass market applications.

• Expected results • monitoring toxic heavy metal content (such as Hg, Cu etc.) in industrial

environments.

• Early diagnosis of toxic gases in the environment.

• detection and monitoring of high impact and presently difficult to measure emerging pollutants and other substances, such as algal toxins, synthetic organics, herbicides/pesticides and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH)
