“…Heavy metals enter in the human body through ingestion of food [17] , [8] ; breathing in air and drinking wastewater [3] , [29] , [39] . The heavy metals are very harmful because of their non-biodegradable nature, long biological half-lives, and their potential to accumulate in different body parts even at low concentration.…”

“…Heavy metal ions (HMIs) such as lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, cobalt, chromium, and copper ions, among others are highly toxic, stable, and non-biodegradable, making them hazardous [4]. They can be found in various ecological compartments and are involved in different environmental and ecological processes [5][6][7]. The most toxic among them can lead to cancer, nervous and reproductive system disorders, bone marrow and kidney dysfunctions, etc [8].…”

Environmental safety is of paramount importance for human well‐being, imposing significant demands for affordable, rapid, portable, and robust analytical tools for real‐time and on‐site water monitoring. In this context, we have developed an analytical method to efficiently detect heavy metal ions, particularly Pb2+ ions, in water samples. This method employs a stepwise‐prepared electrode comprised of a thin film of poly(methyl orange) (pMO) electrochemically deposited onto reduced graphene oxide (erGO), which is in turn coated on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The resulting pMO/erGO/GCE electrode was characterized using Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electrochemical techniques. Square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) was subsequently employed to detect the target ions. Importantly, the pMO/erGO/GCE electrode exhibits excellent analytical performance, featuring a broad linear concentration range spanning from 14 to 595 parts per billion (ppb), a sensitivity of 5.60 μA ppb−1 cm−2, and a theoretical calculated value of the detection limit of 0.82 ppb. The effectiveness of this sensor was validated through successful testing of aqueous samples from dissolved ores containing both lead(II) and cadmium(II) cations, as determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy.
