Chemosensors | Articles Related to Water Quality Testing
Water is a fundamental resource essential for all forms of life; however, climate changes and anthropogenic activities have contributed to increasingly severe water pollution issues worldwide. Water quality underpins public health, environmental sustainability, and industrial development, necessitating robust strategies for water monitoring and remediation. In conjunction with World Water Monitoring Day 2026, it is timely to highlight the pivotal role of (bio)chemical sensing technologies and related analytical techniques in assessing water quality and safety.
