Abstract
In this work, a sensitive colorimetric bioassay method based on a poly(adenine) aptamer (polyA apt) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was developed for the determination of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). The polyA apt, adsorbed on the AuNPs, especially can bind to the analyte while deterring non-specific interactions. This nano aptasensor uses cationic polymer poly(diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDDA), as an aggregating agent, to aggregate gold nanoparticles. PolyA apt-decorated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs/polyA apt) show resistance to PDDA-induced aggregation and maintains their dispersed state (red color) with the optical absorbance signal at λ = 520 nm. However, in the presence of AFB1 in the assay solution, the specific aptamer reacts with high affinity and folds into its three-dimensional form. Aggregation of AuNPs induced by PDDA caused their optical signal shift to λ = 620 nm (blue color). AFB1 concentration in the bioassay solution determines the amount of optical signal shift. Therefore, optical density ratio in two wavelengths (A620/520) can be used as a sturdy colorimetric signal to detect the concentration of aflatoxin B1. AFB1 was linearly detected between 0.5 and 20 ng mL-1, with a detection limit of 0.09 ng mL-1 (S/N = 3). The fabricated aptasensor was applied to the detection of AFB1 in real corn samples.

Abstract
Health concerns about the toxicity of arsenic compounds have therefore encouraged the development of new analytical tools for quick monitoring of arsenic in real samples with improved sensitivity, selectivity, and reliability. An overview of advanced optical colorimetric sensor techniques for real-time monitoring of inorganic arsenic species in the environment is given in this review paper. Herein, several advanced optical colorimetric sensor techniques for arsenite (As+3) and arsenate (As+5) based on doping chromogenic dyes/reagents, biomolecule-modified nanomaterials, and arsenic-binding ligand tethered nanomaterials are introduced and discussed. This review also highlights the benefits and limitations of the colorimetric sensor for arsenic species. Finally, prospects and future developments of an optical colorimetric sensor for arsenic species are also proposed. For future study in this sector, particularly for field application, authors recommend this review paper will be helpful for readers to understand the design principles and their corresponding sensing mechanisms of various arsenic optical colorimetric sensors.

Abstract
Heavy metal arsenic is a water pollutant that affects millions of lives worldwide. A novel aptamer candidate for specific and sensitive arsenic detection was identified using Graphene Oxide-SELEX (GO-SELEX). Eleven rounds of GO-SELEX were performed to screen As(III) specific sequences. The selected aptamer sequences were evaluated for their binding affinity. The dissociation constant of the best aptamer candidate, As-06 was estimated by fluorescence recovery upon target addition, and it was found to be 8.15 nM. A QCM-based biosensing platform was designed based on the target-triggered release of aptamer from the QCM electrode. An rGO-SWCNT nanocomposite was adsorbed on the gold surface, and the single-stranded probe was stacked on the rGO-CNT layer. Upon addition of the target to the solution, a concentration-dependent release of the ssDNA probe was observed and recorded as the change in the electrode frequency. The developed QCM sensor showed a dynamic linear range from 10 nM to 100 nM and a low detection limit of 8.6 nM. The sensor exhibited excellent selectivity when challenged with common interfering anions and cations.

Abstract
Human health/socioeconomic development is closely correlated to environmental pollution, highlighting the need to monitor contaminants in the real environment with reliable devices such as biosensors. Recently, variety of biosensors gained high attention and employed as in-situ application, in real-time, and cost-effective analytical tools for healthy environment. For continuous environmental monitoring, it is necessary for portable, cost-effective, quick, and flexible biosensing devices. These benefits of the biosensor strategy are related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations (UN), especially with reference to clean water and sources of energy. However, the relationship between SDGs and biosensor application for environmental monitoring is not well understood. In addition, some limitations and challenges might hinder the biosensor application on environmental monitoring. Herein, we reviewed the different types of biosensors, principle and applications, and their correlation with SDG 6, 12, 13, 14, and 15 as a reference for related authorities and administrators to consider. In this review, biosensors for different pollutants such as heavy metals and organics were documented. The present study highlights the application of biosensor for achieving SDGs. Current advantages and future research aspects are summarized in this paper.Abbreviations: ATP: Adenosine triphosphate; BOD: Biological oxygen demand; COD: Chemical oxygen demand; Cu-TCPP: Cu-porphyrin; DNA: Deoxyribonucleic acid; EDCs: Endocrine disrupting chemicals; EPA: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; Fc-HPNs: Ferrocene (Fc)-based hollow polymeric nanospheres; Fe3O4@3D-GO: Fe3O4@three-dimensional graphene oxide; GC: Gas chromatography; GCE: Glassy carbon electrode; GFP: Green fluorescent protein; GHGs: Greenhouse gases; HPLC: High performance liquid chromatography; ICP-MS: Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry; ITO: Indium tin oxide; LAS: Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate; LIG: Laser-induced graphene; LOD: Limit of detection; ME: Magnetoelastic; MFC: Microbial fuel cell; MIP: Molecular imprinting polymers; MWCNT: Multi-walled carbon nanotube; MXC: Microbial electrochemical cell-based; NA: Nucleic acid; OBP: Odorant binding protein; OPs: Organophosphorus; PAHs: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; PBBs: Polybrominated biphenyls; PBDEs: Polybrominated diphenyl ethers; PCBs: Polychlorinated biphenyls; PGE: Polycrystalline gold electrode; photoMFC: photosynthetic MFC; POPs: Persistent organic pollutants; rGO: Reduced graphene oxide; RNA: Ribonucleic acid; SDGs: Sustainable Development Goals; SERS: Surface enhancement Raman spectrum; SPGE: Screen-printed gold electrode; SPR: Surface plasmon resonance; SWCNTs: single-walled carbon nanotubes; TCPP: Tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin; TIRF: Total internal reflection fluorescence; TIRF: Total internal reflection fluorescence; TOL: Toluene-catabolic; TPHs: Total petroleum hydrocarbons; UN: United Nations; VOCs: Volatile organic compounds.

Abstract
In light of potential risks of heavy metal exposure, diverse aptasensors have been developed through the combination of aptamers with nanomaterials for the timely and efficient detection of metals in environmental and biological matrices. Aptamer-based sensors can benefit from multiple merits such as heightened sensitivity, facile production, uncomplicated operation, exceptional specificity, enhanced stability, low immunogenicity, and cost-effectiveness. This review highlights the detection capabilities of nanomaterial-based aptasensors for heavy-metal and metalloid ions based on their performance in terms of the basic quality assurance parameters (e.g., limit of detection, linear dynamic range, and response time). Out of covered studies, dendrimer/CdTe@CdS QDs-based ECL aptasensor was found as the most sensitive option with an LOD of 2.0 aM (atto-molar: 10-18 M) detection for Hg2+. The existing challenges in the nanomaterial-based aptasensors and their scientific solutions are also discussed.

Abstract
Arsenic is a toxic and ubiquitous metalloid that leads to a widespread health risk to human beings and other living organisms. In this paper, a novel water-soluble fluorescent probe based on functionalized polypyrrole dots (FPPyDots) was designed and applied to determine As(III) selectively and sensitively in aqueous media. FPPyDots probe was synthesized by using a hydrothermal method, via the facile chemical polymerization of pyrrole (Py) and cysteamine (Cys) and then functionalized with ditheritheritol (DTT). To investigate the chemical composition, morphology, and optical properties of the resultant fluorescence probe various characterization techniques including FTIR, EDC, TEM, Zeta potential, UV-vis, and fluorescence spectroscopies were used. The Stern-Volmer equation was used for calibration curves and show a negative deviation with the two linear concentration ranges of 270-2200 pM and 2.5-22.5 nM with an excellent limit of detection (LOD) of 110 pM. FPPyDots exhibit high selectivity to As(III) ions over various transition and heavy metal ions interferences. The performance of the probe has also been perused concerning the pH effect. Finally, to illustrate the applicability and reliability of the FPPyDots probe, the As(III) traces were identified in water real samples and compared with ICP-OES analysis.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are useful nanomaterials as transducers for colorimetric sensors because of their high extinction coefficient and ability to change color depending on aggregation status. Therefore, over the past few decades, AuNP-based colorimetric sensors have been widely applied in several environmental and biological applications, including the detection of water pollutants. According to various studies, water pollutants are classified into heavy metals or cationic metal ions, toxins, and pesticides. Notably, many researchers have been interested in AuNP that detect water pollutants with high sensitivity and selectivity, while offering no adverse environmental issues in terms of AuNP use. This review provides a representative overview of AuNP-based colorimetric sensors for detecting several water pollutants. In particular, we emphasize the advantages of AuNP as colorimetric transducers for water pollutant detection in terms of their low toxicity, high stability, facile processability, and unique optical properties. Next, we discuss the status quo and future prospects of AuNP-based colorimetric sensors for the detection of water pollutants. We believe that this review will promote research and development of AuNP as next-generation colorimetric transducers for water pollutant detection.

Abstract
Chemical and biological contaminants are of primary concern in ensuring seafood safety. Rapid detection of such contaminants is needed to keep us safe from being affected. For over three decades, immunoassay (IA) technology has been used for the detection of contaminants in seafood products. However, limitations inherent to antibody generation against small molecular targets that cannot elicit an immune response, along with the instability of antibodies under ambient conditions greatly limit their wider application for developing robust detection and monitoring tools, particularly for non-biomedical applications. As an alternative, aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) have emerged as a powerful yet robust analytical tool for the detection of a wide range of analytes. Due to the high specificity of aptamers in recognising targets ranging from small molecules to large proteins and even whole cells, these have been suggested to be viable molecular recognition elements (MREs) in the development of new diagnostic and biosensing tools for detecting a wide range of contaminants including heavy metals, antibiotics, pesticides, pathogens and biotoxins. In this review, we discuss the recent progress made in the field of aptasensors for detection of contaminants in seafood products with a view of effectively managing their potential human health hazards. A critical outlook is also provided to facilitate translation of aptasensors from academic laboratories to the mainstream seafood industry and consumer applications.

In the absence of LPS, the LBA was absorbed onto the AuNPs surface which prevented SG-induced aggregation of AuNPs, and the sensing system exhibited red color. When LPS was added, it interacted with the LBA, forming a complex. At higher LPS concentration, many LBAs were exhausted resulting in SG-induced aggregation of AuNPs, and color change from red to blue. The range of colorimetric detection of LPS was linear in 0-12 EU/mL, with a limit of detection of 0.1698 EU/mL. Spiked LPS in real samples and interfering substances were also identified. This assay ingeniously using the fluorescent dye SG as an effective trigger of AuNPs aggregation, is rapid and facile than most of those earlier reported LBA-based LPS assays, and there is potential to be modified to construct assays for other targets.

Abstract
ZEN-responsive hydrogel was prepared using ZEN aptamer and a cationic conjugated skeleton which was formed by the electrostatic interaction between acrylamide and poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA). In the presence of ZEN, the binding of aptamer and ZEN caused the hydrogel to dissociate, releasing the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) encapsulated in the hydrogel into supernatant, whose color changes serving as response instructions were observed by eyes. To realize low dose visual detection, the TMB-H2O2 was used for quantitative readout by AuNPs released from the hydrogel which can efficiently catalyze the reaction to generate a obvious change.There was a good linear relationship between the changed absorbance and concentration of ZEN within 2.5-100 ng/mL, a detection limit of 0.98 ng/mL, recovery rates of 98.8%-101.3% and 99.8%-101.5% for corns and beer, respectively. This developed sensing strategy would provide a promising application for other mycotoxins by replacing the corresponding aptamer sequences.

Abstract
In this study, a novel colorimetric bioassay method was developed for the sensitive determination of tobramycin (TOB). To detect TOB, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were decorated with TOB-specific aptamers (apt), and positively charged poly diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (PDDA) was used. As long as tobramycin is not present in the assay system, PDDA can coalesce with the aptamer, and AgNPs would remain stable (λmax = 400 nm) in the dispersed system against PDDA-induced aggregation. When TOB is added, aptamer can bind to the compound, which leads to release of PDDA and subsequent aggregation of AgNPs (λmax = 540 nm). This remarkable change, as a colorimetric analytics signal, can be used for quantitative analysis of TOB. TOB can be detected by this highly sensitive colorimetric aptasensor with a limit of detection (LOD) of 70 pM. Furthermore, TOB can be detected with the naked eye at concentrations above 1 nM.

Abstract
Arsenic is a ubiquitously found metalloid in our ecosystem because of natural and anthropogenic activities. People exposed to a higher level of arsenic become susceptible to several disorders, including cancer. According to current statistics, the population chronically exposed to arsenic has surpassed 200 million. Therefore, its detection in our environment is of great importance. There are many analytical techniques for the assessment of arsenic in different kinds of environmental samples. Among these techniques, the biosensor is considered a convenient platform and a widely applied analytical device for rapid qualitative and quantitative analysis in the field of environmental monitoring, food safety, and disease diagnosis. Today, there is a trend of including nanomaterials in sensors and biosensors because it empowers researchers to explore new arsenic detection methods and to enhance their analytical capabilities. In this review article, we summarized the latest developments in arsenic biosensors in particular with emphasis on the works based on cell-free approaches that are protein/enzyme-based, DNA-based, and aptamer-based utilizing various transduction platforms. In the meantime, we compared the capabilities that were related to these cell-free arsenic biosensors. This review article also highlights the development and application of novel nanomaterials for arsenic detection.

Abstract
In this work, we manifested a new approach in designing solid-state colorimetric sensors for the selective optical sensing of As3+. The sensor fabrication is modulated using, (i) a cubic mesopores of ordered silica monolith, and (ii) a bimodal macro-/meso-porous polymer monolith, as hosting templates that are immobilized with a tailor-made chromoionophoric probe (DFBEP). The surface morphology and structural dimensions of the monolith templates and the sensor materials are characterized using p-XRD, XPS, FE-SEM-EDAX, HR-TEM-SAED, FT-IR, TGA, and BET/BJH analysis. The sensing components such as pH, probe content, sensor dosage, kinetics, temperature, analyte concentration, linear response range, selectivity, and sensitivity are optimized to arrive at the best sensing conditions. The silica and polymer-based monolithic sensors show a linear spectral response in the concentration range of 2-300 and 2-200 ppb, with a detection limit of 0.87 and 0.75 ppb for As3+, respectively. The real-time ion-monitoring propensity of the sensors is tested with spiked synthetic and real water samples, with a recovery efficiency of ≥99.1% (RSD ≤1.57%). The sensors act as both naked-eye optical sensors and preconcentrators, with a response time of ≤2.5 min. The molecular and photophysical properties of the DFBEP-As3+ complex are studied by TD-DFT calculations, using the B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) method.

Abstract
More than 200 million people in the world are exposed to areas where the arsenic concentration exceeds the limit allowed for living species, which urges researchers to develop low-cost methods for the selective and fast detection of arsenic ions in environmental samples. Herein, we report a novel tetraphenylimidazole-based probe (TBAB) functionalized with a Schiff base for sensing and detecting arsenic ions in aqueous media. Upon the addition of arsenic ions, an obvious fluorescence change from faint yellow to green was observed visible to the naked eye. The probe can detect arsenic selectively in the presence of interfering substances, with a lower detection limit than 0.7 ppb, a value which is far lower than the limit set by the WHO. A detailed mechanism revealed that the chelation of TBAB with arsenic activated the AIE characteristic, leading to the enhanced fluorescence, which was verified by Job's plot experiment and HRMS. Its practicality was further validated by the analysis of real water samples, demonstrating its potential application for on-site detection and biological application.

Abstract
Pyrethroid pesticides residues will not only pollute the environment, but also cause high toxicity to the human body. It is significant to establish an efficient and accurate method for pyrethroid detection in food. Considering that the common biomolecules like antibody is complicated and easy to inactivate, it is urgent to find a new type of biomolecule to specifically recognize pyrethroid pesticides. This study proposed the Capture-SELEX strategy to firstly select λ-cyhalothrin aptamer by immobilizing random ssDNA library. High-throughput sequencing was performed on the enriched ssDNA library through multiple Capture-SELEX rounds. Comprehensively inspecting structural similarity and homology, six sequences were chosen from five families for further analysis. The results showed that the aptamer (named LCT-1) could specifically recognize λ-cyhalothrin with the strongest affinity (Kd = 50.64 ± 4.33 nmol L-1). Molecular docking results revealed that the binding sites between λ-cyhalothrin and LCT-1 aptamer are mainly related to the bases A-5, C-6, C-28, A-29, C-30, G-31 and G-32. The LCT-1 aptamer was truncated to a shorter sequence (named as LCT-1-39) by removing other irrelevant bases, and its Kd value was determined as (10.27 ± 1.33) nmol·L-1 by Microscale Thermophoresis (MST). Both LCT-1 and LCT-1-39 aptamers were employed as recognition molecules to establish the colorimetric aptasensors for λ-cyhalothrin detection, which displayed good repeatability and reproducibility. The detection limit of the aptasensors were individually calculated as 0.0197 μg ml-1 and 0.0186 μg ml-1, and their recovery rate of λ-cyhalothrin in pear and cucumber samples was in the range of 82.93-95.50%. This article provides a promising application for the detection of λ-cyhalothrin.

Abstract
A colorimetric aptasensor for chlorpyrifos detection utilizing the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of gold nanoparticle (AuNP) aggregates coupling with a specific aptamer and cationic polyethyleneimine (PEI) has been developed. The measurement principle is based on a remarkable characteristic of AuNPs that can change their colors under the aggregation and dispersion conditions, which enables a sensitive colorimetric detection. In the absence of chlorpyrifos, negatively charged phosphate backbones of the aptamer potentially interact with the cationic PEI, resulting in the red color appearance of the dispersed AuNPs, whereas, in the presence of chlorpyrifos, the aptamer binds explicitly to chlorpyrifos, consequently releasing cationic PEI. Uninteracted PEI induces AuNP aggregation, causing a color change from red to blue that can be observed through the naked eye. Under the optimized conditions, 6 nM PEI, 10 nM aptamer, and a pH buffer of 7.5, the colorimetric aptasensor gives a linear response in the range of 20-300 ng mL-1 with a low detection limit of 7.4 ng mL-1. The developed method has been successfully applied to complex sample analysis. The accuracy and precision of chlorpyrifos quantification in spiked samples, including tap water, pomelo, and longan samples, are in the acceptable criteria of method validation, indicating that the developed aptasensor can be utilized as an alternative analytical tool for chlorpyrifos determination in complex samples. This aptasensor provides advantages such as a simple procedure, low cost, short analysis time, and involving uncomplicated instruments. Moreover, it offers high sensitivity, selectivity, and stability.

Abstract
Nowadays, arsenic (III) contamination of drinking water is a global issue. Laboratory and instrument-based techniques are typically used to detect arsenic in water, with an accuracy of 1 ppb. However, such detection methods require a laboratory-based environment, skilled labor, and additional costs for setup. As a result, several metal-based nanoparticles have been studied to prepare a cost-effective and straightforward detector for arsenic (III) ions. Among the developed strategies, colorimetric detection is one of the simplest methods to detect arsenic (III) in water. Several portable digital detection technologies make nanoparticle-based colorimetric detectors useful for on-site arsenic detection. The present review showcases several metal-based nanoparticles that can detect arsenic (III) colorimetrically at a concentration of ~0.12 ppb or lower in water. A literature survey suggests that biomolecule-based metal nanoparticles could serve as low-cost, facile, susceptible, and eco-friendly alternatives for detecting arsenic (III). This review also describes future directions, perspectives and challenges in developing this alternative technology, which will help us reach a new milestone in designing an effective arsenic detector for commercial use.

Abstract
We report a simple and cost-effective paper-based and colorimetric dual-mode detection of As(iii) and Pb(ii) based on glucose-functionalized gold nanoparticles under optimized conditions. The paper-based detection of As(iii) and Pb(ii) is based on the change in the signal intensity of AuNPs/Glu fabricated on a paper substrate after the deposition of the analyte using a smartphone, followed by processing with the ImageJ software. The colorimetric method is based on the change in the color and the red shift of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) absorption band of AuNPs/Glu in the region of 200–800 nm. The red shift (Δλ) of the LSPR band observed was from 525 nm to 660 nm for As(iii) and from 525 nm to 670 nm for Pb(ii). The mechanism of dual-mode detection is due to the non-covalent interactions of As(iii) and Pb(ii) ions with glucose molecule present on the surface AuNPs, resulting in the aggregation of novel metal nanoparticles. The calibration curve gave a good linearity range of 20–500 μg L−1 and 20–1000 μg L−1 for the determination of As(iii) and Pb(ii) with the limit of detection of 5.6 μg L−1 and 7.7 μg L−1 for both metal ions, respectively. The possible effects of different metal ions and anions were also investigated but did not cause any significant interference. The employment of AuNPs/Glu is successfully demonstrated for the determination of As(iii) and Pb(ii) using paper-based and colorimetric sensors in environmental water samples. We report a simple and cost-effective paper-based and colorimetric dual-mode detection of As(iii) and Pb(ii) based on glucose-functionalized gold nanoparticles under optimized conditions.![]()

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials with catalytic activity have attracted considerable attention from researchers, but their application in the detection of hazardous substances needs to be further expanded. Herein, layered tungsten sulfide (WS2) nanosheets with peroxidase-mimicking activity were used to construct a colorimetric chemosensor for rapid detection of acetone. WS2 nanosheets can decompose H2O2 to generate hydroxyl radicals (·OH), which will further oxidize o-phenylenediamine (OPD) through hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) to form the yellow product 2,3-diaminophenazine. Acetone can block the HAT from OPD to ·OH, thus causing obvious inhibition of the peroxidase activity of WS2 nanosheets, making the solution appear pale yellow or even colorless. The investigation of catalytic kinetics indicates that the catalytic reaction consists of the 'ping pong' mechanism, and the regulatory effect of acetone on WS2 nanosheets is confirmed to be an irreversible inhibition. The chemosensor can easily distinguish a trace amount of acetone by the naked eye in less than 20 min, and has a limit of detection for acetone of as low as 3.08 mg l-1. The application in actual samples displays the accuracy and stability of the chemosensor, suggesting that such a method is promising for acetone detection.

Abstract
Due to biological and environmental significance of highly toxic arsenic species, the design, synthesis and development of chemosensors for arsenic species has been a very active research field in recent times. In this review, we summarize recent works on the sensing mechanisms employed by fluorometric/colorimetric chemosensors and their applications in arsenic detection. Various types of sensing strategies can be categorized into six types including (i) chemosensors based on hydrogen bonding interactions; (ii) aggregation induced emission (AIE) based chemosensors; (iii) chemodosimetric approach (reaction-based chemosensors); (iv) metal coordination-based sensing strategy; (v) chemosensors based on metal complex displacement approach and (vi) metal complex as chemosensor. All these sensing strategies are very much simple and sensitive for use in the design of arsenic selective chromogenic and fluorogenic probes.

Abstract
Noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) are ideal scaffolds for the fabrication of sensing devices because of their high surface-to-volume ratio combined with their unique optical and electrical properties which are extremely sensitive to changes in the environment. Such characteristics guarantee high sensitivity in sensing processes. Metal NPs can be decorated with ad hoc molecular building blocks which can act as receptors of specific analytes. By pursuing this strategy, and by taking full advantage of the specificity of supramolecular recognition events, highly selective sensing devices can be fabricated. Besides, noble metal NPs can also be a pivotal element for the fabrication of chemical nose/tongue sensors to target complex mixtures of analytes. This review highlights the most enlightening strategies developed during the last decade, towards the fabrication of chemical sensors with either optical or electrical readout combining high sensitivity and selectivity, along with fast response and full reversibility, with special attention to approaches that enable efficient environmental and health monitoring.

Abstract
In this work, we propose a colorimetric assay for the determination of trace arsenic based on in-situ formation of AuNPs with the synergistic effect of arsine (AsH3) and iodide. AsH3, generated by hydride generation of AsIII in the sample or standard solution, enters into the HAuCl4 solution containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and KI, and then reacts rapidly to form AuNPs, resulting in the solution color changing from light yellow to pink. Hydride generation applied here not only produces a strong reducing agent AsH3, but also effectively reduces matrix interference. The introduction of I- promotes the reaction by reducing the Au precursor from trivalent state to monovalent state, thus accelerating the formation of AuNPs with AsH3 and improving the sensitivity for the detection of arsenic. Trace AsIII as low as 10 μg L-1 in 3 mL sample solution can produce the change in color visible to the naked eye. Moreover, the use of the stabilizer PVA and the gaseous strong-reducing agent AsH3 evenly dispersed in the reaction solution lead to the formation of well-distributed and fine AuNPs of size changing little with the dosage of AsH3. The whole analysis process only takes 30 min under ambient condition without complicated synthesis and pretreatment. The proposed assay is simple, stable, sensitive and selective, providing a convenient and cost-effective choice for on-site trace arsenic detection in real samples.

Abstract
A short ssDNA (Apt-21) rationally truncated from the parent 100 nt As(III) aptamer was used for colorimetric determination of As(III). Apt-21 serves dual functions, i.e., recognition of trace As(III) and regulation of AuNPs dispersion by surface attachment, while gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functioned as colorimetric signal reporters. Under the optimal conditions, the ratio of the absorbance at 650 nm to 520 nm (A650/A520) of AuNPs changed proportionally with increasing concentration of As(III), which showed a linear relationship within the concentration ranges 1-30 ppb and 30-100 ppb with a detection limit of 0.18 ppb. The feasibility of this assay was demonstrated by determining As(III) in spiked water samples with mean recoveries ranging from 96.5-107.1%.

Abstract
Arsenic is a highly toxic heavy-metal pollutant which poses a significant health risk to humans and other ecosystems. In this work, the natural ability of wild-type plants to pre-concentrate and extract arsenic from the belowground environment is exploited to engineer plant nanobionic sensors for real-time arsenic detection. Near-infrared fluorescent nanosensors are specifically designed for sensitive and selective detection of arsenite. These optical nanosensors are embedded in plant tissues to non-destructively access and monitor the internal dynamics of arsenic taken up by the plants via the roots. The integration of optical nanosensors with living plants enables the conversion of plants into self-powered autosamplers of arsenic from their environment. Arsenite detection is demonstrated with three different plant species as nanobionic sensors. Based on an experimentally validated kinetic model, the nanobionic sensor could detect 0.6 and 0.2 ppb levels of arsenic after 7 and 14 days respectively by exploiting the natural ability of Pteris cretica ferns to hyperaccumulate and tolerate exceptionally high level of arsenic. The sensor readout could also be interfaced with portable electronics at a standoff distance, potentially enabling applications in environmental monitoring and agronomic research.

Abstract
The elevated cases of arsenic contamination reported across the globe have made its early detection and remediation an active area of research. Although, the World Health Organisation has set the maximum provisional value for arsenic in drinking water at 10 parts per billion, yet concentrations as high as 5000 parts per billion are still reported. In human beings, chronic arsenic exposure can culminate into lethal diseases such as cancer. Thus, there is a need for urgent emergence of efficient and reliable detection system. This paper offers an overview of the state-of-art knowledge on current arsenic detection mechanisms. The central agenda of this paper is to develop an understanding into the nano-enabled methods for arsenic detection with an emphasis on strategic fabrication of nanostructures and the modulation of nanomaterial chemistry in order to strengthen the knowledge into novel nano-enabled solutions for arsenic contamination. Towards the end prospects for arsenic detection in water are also prompted.

Abstract
A coumarin based fluorescent molecule, 3-amino-2-cynano-3-(7-diethylamino-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-acrylic acid ethyl ester (1) has been synthesized and characterised. Photophysical studies of 1 exhibit polarity dependent shift of its emission maxima which have been explained on the basis the existence of polar excited state of the molecule. Combination of compound 1 and citrate capped AuNPs (AuNPs/1 conjugate) has been used as a sensing tool for heavy metals. AuNPs/1 conjugate has been found to detect Pb2+ selectively by naked-eye color change as well as fluorescence enhancement. On addition of molecule 1 to gold nanoparticles solution, the color of the solution becomes reddish followed by quenching in fluorescence intensity. With gradual addition of Pb2+, the solution of AuNPs/1 conjugate becomes violet accompanied by a fluorescence enhancement. Excited state lifetime measurement revealed that compound 1 exhibits very fast decay pattern in aqueous medium whereas in AuNPs medium the lifetime of 1 increases. Upon addition of Pb2+ ions to that AuNPs/1 solution the lifetime of 1 decreases again. Based on the experimental observations the mechanism of sensing of lead has been proposed thoroughly. Initially compound 1 gets absorbed on the surface of the spherical gold nanoparticles. When Pb2+ is added, probably gold nanoparticles aggregates to form bigger particles by releasing compound 1 from its surface to show fluorescence enhancement.

Abstract
The contamination of heavy metals (e.g., Hg, Pb, Cd and As) poses great risks to the environment and human health. Rapid and simple detection of heavy metals of considerable toxicity in low concentration levels is an important task in biological and environmental analysis. Among the many convenient detection methods for heavy metals, DNA-inspired gold nanoparticles (DNA-AuNPs) have become a well-established approach, in which assembly/disassembly of AuNPs is used for colorimetric signaling of the recognition event between DNA and target heavy metals at the AuNP interface. This review focuses on the recent efforts of employing DNA to manipulate the interfacial properties of AuNPs, as well as the major advances in the colorimetric detection of heavy metals. Beginning with the introduction of the fundamental aspects of DNA and AuNPs, three main strategies of constructing DNA-AuNPs with DNA binding-responsive interface are discussed, namely, crosslinking, electrostatic interaction and base pair stacking. Then, recent achievements in colorimetric biosensing of heavy metals based on manipulation of the interface of DNA-AuNPs are surveyed and compared. Finally, perspectives on challenges and opportunities for future research in this field are provided.

Abstract
Several researches have reported that Mn3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) could be used as adsorbent to remove arsenic from aqueous solution. However, we found that Mn3O4 NPs can not only adsorb arsenic, but also enhance the catalytic activity of Mn3O4 NPS, which enable us to establish a new method for the determination of arsenic. Herein, the adsorption of arsenic changes surface morphology of octahedral Mn3O4 NPs and further release Mn2+ to generate sufficient active sites, which enhances their oxidase-mimicking catalytic activity. Consequently, the solution changes to yellow and displays a characteristic absorption peak at 450 nm. This property enables us to construct a novel colorimetric chemosensor for arsenic detection. The limit of detection (LOD) of such colorimetric chemosensor for arsenic detection was determined as 1.32 μg⋅L-1, which is lower than the threshold recommended by WHO. The chemosensor allows arsenic to be determined visually at the concentrations as low as 10 μg⋅L-1, and displays excellent selectivity against other metal ions. Moreover, the chemosensor was successfully validated by analyzing several actual environmental and biological samples, indicating the excellent prospect of octahedral Mn3O4 NPs in the application of arsenic detection and removal.

Abstract
High-throughput and rapid arsenite (As(III)) monitoring is an urgent task to deal with the critical threat from As(III) contamination in the environment. In this study, an effective, portable, and sensitive As(III) assay was developed using the plasmonic silver (pAg) chips for As(III) detection. The pAg chips were fabricated by a simple seed-mediated method to grow the silver nanoisland films (Ag-NIFs) with the compact nanoislands and adjustable interisland gaps on the large-sized substrates. With appropriate surface functionalization and optimal chip manufacturing, Cy7.5 fluorescence dye can be immobilized on the surface of Ag-NIFs in the presence of As(III) to output the enhanced fluorescence signals up to 10-fold and improve the detection limit of As(III) less than 10 ppb. According to our results, the high-throughput detection measurements and wide dynamic range over 4 orders of magnitude implied the broad prospects of pAg chips in fluorescence-enhanced assays. The proposed As(III) assay has shown great opportunities for the practical application of ultratrace As(III) monitoring.

Abstract
Deoxynucleotides can be good monomers for arsenite ion-imprinted polymers (IIPs) due to the successful obtainment of aptamers which can specifically recognize arsenite. However, the recognition and interaction mechanism between arsenite and deoxynucleotides is still not clear. In this work, the binding interactions between arsenite and deoxynucleotides (dAMP, dTMP, dGMP, dCMP) as pH changing from 1 to 14 were investigated using density functional theory calculations as well as spectroscopy analysis. dGMP was calculated to have the largest affinity towards arsenite. H3AsO30-dGMP0 binding at phosphate group, H3AsO30-dAMP2-, H3AsO30-dCMP0 and H3AsO30-dTMP2- binding around nucleobase were found to be the most stable complexes. This suggests the optimal pH ranges for binding interactions of dAMP, dCMP, dGMP and dTMP towards arsenite might be 6.10-9.23, 1.00-4.50, 1.00-2.40 and 6.40-9.23, respectively, which agree with UV/VIS experimental results. Reduced Density Gradient method indicated that the binding interactions of arsenite with deoxynucleotides are mainly attributed to hydrogen bonds (H-bond). The strengths of these H-bonds are affected by pH. FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy analysis also provided essential H-bonding information, giving direct evidence to support the computational conclusions.

Abstract
Monodispersed colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized by an easy, cost-effective, and eco-friendly method. The AuNPs were mostly quasi-hexagonal in shape with sizes ranging from 15 to 18 nm. A screen-printed electrode modified with AuNPs (AuNPs/SPE) was used as an electrochemical sensor for the detection of As(iii) in water samples. The mechanistic details for the detection of As(iii) were investigated and an electrochemical reaction mechanism was proposed. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the sensor was highly sensitive to As(iii), with a limit of detection of 0.11 μg L−1 (1.51 nM), which is well below the regulatory limit of 10 μg L−1 established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the World Health Organization. The sensor responses were highly stable, reproducible, and linear over the As(iii) concentration range of 0.075 to 30 μg L−1. The presence of co-existing heavy metal cations such as lead, copper, and mercury did not interfere with the sensor response to As(iii). Furthermore, the voltammogram peaks for As(iii), lead, copper, and mercury were sufficiently separate for their potential simultaneous measurement, and at very harsh acidic pH it may be possible to detect As(v). The AuNPs/SPE could detect As(iii) in tap water samples at near-neutral pH, presenting potential possibilities for real-time, practical applications. Monodispersed colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized by an easy, cost-effective, and eco-friendly method for electrochemical detection of As(iii).![]()

Abstract
This paper proposes the idea of establishing carbendazim (CBZ) colorimetric determination in spiked water samples by specific aptamers of unlabeled carbendazim (CBZ), gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and cationic polymer poly-diallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDDA). In the absence of CBZ, the CBZ aptamer will react with the cationic polymer PDDA by electrostatic interaction to form a complex structure. Therefore, the gold nanoparticles will remain dispersed due to the lack of PDDA. However, when CBZ is added into the sensory system, the CBZ-specific aptamer can selectively capture CBZ to form a stable complex structure. Due to the consumption of the aptamer, PDDA is unable to interact with the aptamer and begins to induce aggregation of AuNPs, thereby causing the color of the solution to change from red to blue. Colorimetric determination of CBZ based on the specific recognition of aptamer and the PDDA-induced aggregation of AuNPs has a detection limit of 2.2 nM, a linear range (R = 0.9960) from 2.2 to 500 nM. The method has good sensitivity and specificity, and the average recovery of CBZ is 94.9-104.8% in the application of actual water samples. This colorimetric method is simple, time-saving and low requirements for equipment, therefore, it holds great potential for CBZ detection in the environmental water samples.
