“…Organic pollutants may enter aquatic systems through different ways, for example, direct discharge of untreated industrial or domestic sewage, oil spills from shipping or offshore exploration, and infiltration of soil contaminants such as pesticide spraying (Kostianoy et al, 2020;Lamba et al, 2020;Zhou et al, 2020). Recent studies have reported WCBs as detection tools for measuring bioavailable organic pollutants in water and achieved considerable results (Jiang et al, 2019;Muurinen et al, 2019;Voon et al, 2022). The first WCB was constructed for the detection of naphthalene which is an organic pollutant (King et al, 1990).…”

Water contamination has become increasingly a critical global environmental issue that threatens human and ecosystems’ health. Monitoring and risk assessment of toxic pollutants in water bodies is essential to identifying water pollution treatment needs. Compared with the traditional monitoring approaches, environmental biosensing via whole-cell bioreporters (WCBs) has exhibited excellent capabilities for detecting bioavailability of multiple pollutants by providing a fast, simple, versatile and economical way for environmental risk assessment. The performance of WCBs is determined by its elements of construction, such as host strain, regulatory and reporter genes, as well as experimental conditions. Previously, numerous studies have focused on the design and construction of WCB rather than improving the detection process and commercialization of this technology. For investigators working in the environmental field, WCB can be used to detect pollutants is more important than how they are constructed. This work provides a review of the development of WCBs and a brief introduction to genetic construction strategies and aims to summarize key studies on the application of WCB technology in detection of water contaminants, including organic pollutants and heavy metals. In addition, the current status of commercialization of WCBs is highlighted.

“…Crude oil is the most widespread contaminant within the marine environment [ 5 ]. There is ample evidence to support the devastating nature of these crude oil related issues, owing to spills and leakages from distribution channels and storage tanks as well as effluent discharge from production platforms into the immediate environment [ 3 , 6 ]. Pollution by hydrocarbons in marine environments may be the consequence of various natural (natural seepages), anthropogenic activities (discharge during tanks or ships transportation and pipeline failures) as well as other chronic pollution channels (ships, harbours, oil terminals, freshwater run-off, rivers and sewage systems) [ 7 ].…”

“…Detecting and monitoring environmental pollutants are critical for modern disease prevention. Generally, pollutant detection relies on the chemical or microbial analysis such as chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis, [1] spectral analysis, [2] microbial sensors, [3] and immunoassays. [4] Existing detection technologies have many limitations, including complex pretreatment, cost, and rigorous testing environments.…”

The ever‐increasing complexity of environmental pollutants urgently warrants the development of new detection technologies. Sensors based on the optical properties of hydrogels enabling fast and easy in situ detection are attracting increasing attention. In this paper, the data from 138 papers about different optical hydrogels (OHs) are extracted for statistical analysis. The detection performance and potential of various types of OHs in different environmental pollutant detection scenarios were evaluated and compared to those obtained using the standard detection method. Based on this analysis, the target recognition and sensing mechanisms of two main types of OHs are reviewed and discussed: photonic crystal hydrogels (PCHs) and fluorescent hydrogels (FHs). For PCHs, the environmental stimulus response, target receptors, inverse opal structures, and molecular imprinting techniques related to PCHs are reviewed and summarized. Furthermore, the different types of fluorophores (i.e., compound probes, biomacromolecules, quantum dots, and luminescent microbes) of FHs are discussed. Finally, the potential academic research directions to address the challenges of applying and developing OHs in environmental sensing are proposed, including the fusion of various OHs, introduction of the latest technologies in various fields to the construction of OHs, and development of multifunctional sensor arrays.
