Editorial Board Members' Collection Series: Environment and Food Quality Sensing Systems

This special issue belongs to the section “Chemical Sensors“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

According to a holistic approach, our health is influenced by our food intake and the environment we live in; therefore, to have a healthy population, environmental and food safety and quality are key parameters. In this Special Issue, “Environment and food quality sensing systems”, we aim to highlight the advances in sensing technologies for monitoring our environment, i.e., air quality, both outdoors and indoors; water and soil contamination; and our food. With this perspective, the identification of emerging contaminants and novel detection strategies to monitor their presences will also be addressed. Both original research papers and review articles are welcome. The manuscripts can cover, but are not limited to, the following topics:

  • Air quality monitoring;
  • Air contamination detection;
  • Water organic and inorganic contaminant detection;
  • Soil contamination detection;
  • Food analysis (safety and quality);
  • Contaminants of emerging concern (CEC) identification;
  • Novel detection technologies applied to food and/or environment monitoring.
