The Development of Sensors for the Detection of Hg2+

doi:10.13560/j.cnki.biotech.bull.1985.2018-0429

Abstract

Abstract: Of all the heavy metals that contaminate the soil and water,Hg²⁺ is the most common one. Atmospheric deposition and ocean circulation of Hg²⁺ result in its entering into fresh water and ocean. With biological accumulation through food web,Hg²⁺ consequentially risks human health. Therefore,the rapid and sensitive detection of Hg²⁺ is central to the environmental monitoring and human health. This review demonstrates the origin,biotransformation of Hg²⁺ and its effects on human health,and summarizes the mainstream methods of detecting Hg²⁺ based on its interaction properties with other substances,including fluorescence molecules,nanoparticles,DNAzyme,antibodies,proteins,and transgenic microorganisms, in order to provide a basis for rapid detection of Hg²⁺.

Key words: mercury ion, sensor, detection
