Fluorescent Sensors for the Detection of Toxic Elements and Environmentally-Related Pollutants highlights the recent technological advancements of sensing applications for a variety of toxic elements and pollutants using small and supra-molecular materials as advanced chemical sensors. During the past decade, there has been an increasing amount of research on the detection of these pollutants due to the growing awareness of environmental contamination. This book focuses on increasing scientific and technological awareness in order to tackle pollutants arising from various industrial and biotechnological sectors.

In addition, the book discusses the most advanced industrial scale sensing materials and addresses current challenges during manufacturing and application. It will be a valuable reference source for materializing the synthesis of predesigned small and supramolecular fluorescent sensors of interest by presenting different strategies that can serve as a promising tool for researchers.
