Abstract

The increased concern about toxic effects of pesticide exposure led to the necessity of its monitoring using rapid, sensitive and selective analytical tools because traditional instrumental techniques are often time-consuming, labor intensive and need tedious prior separation or purification steps. The electrochemical sensors can overcome disadvantages of the traditional techniques, MIP-based sensors offer a high degree of selectivity in binding target analytes in the presence of their interferents make them ideal for determination of pesticides in complex environmental samples. This review provides a general overview of MIP-based sensors in the assessment of pesticides in environmental samples using voltammetry as transduction mechanism
