Abstract
Nowadays, the air quality control has become an important issue, especially after “COVID-19.” The air respiratory viruses cause a severe infection. The detection of airborne viruses and air contaminants is an urgent trend. The quality of a certain environment is based on the analysis of its indoor air. Thus, the design and production of rapid sensors for the control purposes are an urgent goal. This chapter should contribute to increase the scientific knowledge in the environmental fields, everyone that is exposed to air pollutants, occupational health services, medicine clinics, and work inspectors. This chapter aims also to support the readers with details about the relation between nanotechnology and air pollution control, and to link these issues to the eco-friendly nanomaterial production. The chapter provides an overview of information on diverse types of nanosensors and nanobiosensors, followed by a brief section on eco-friendly development of biomass-based nanomaterials.
