Detection of Carbofuran Pesticide in Seawater by Using an Enzyme Biosensor

ABSTRACT Li, Z.; Qu, S.; Cui, L., and Zhang, S., 2017. Detection of carbofuran pesticide in seawater by using an enzyme biosensor. In: Zhi, Y. and Guido Aldana, P.A. (eds.), Sustainability of Water Resources and the Development of Coastal Environments: Select Proceedings from the 2016 International Conference on Water Resource and Environment (WRE2016).

With the development of agriculture in China and the large-scale use of pesticides, more and more pesticides enter the ocean through surface runoff and other ways. The threat to the water quality is becoming more and more serious. However, how to detect the pesticides quickly in the water becomes an important problem. Ground on acetylcholinesterase' (AChE) inhibition, the paper states the construction of an amperometric biosensor for carbamate insecticide carbofuran's highly sensitive detection. Using an enzyme biosensor ground on poly diallyldimethylammoni...
