Abstract

Poisonous materials, such as mutagenic, carcinogenic, and poisonous compounds, are widely produced as a result of industrial development. Such materials continue to be hazardous to human health despite stringent management and control procedures. As a result, practical chemical sensors—such as optical, electrochemical, nanomaterial-based, and biological system-based sensors—are needed for the monitoring of dangerous chemicals. For the detection of harmful compounds, numerous new and existing chemical sensors are being created, along with new techniques based on cutting-edge technologies. Sensing components for targeting and signal-transducing components for reporting relationships among targets and detectors have significantly improved as a result of the development of material sciences and sophisticated technologies for manufacturing and signal-transducing processes. The general concepts and uses of several chemical sensor types have been succinctly outlined in numerous outstanding reviews. As a result, this review concentrates on current developments in chemical sensing for the detection of dangerous materials as well as improvements in chemical sensors with regard to the detecting and signal-transducing components. We also go over current developments in biosensors for dangerous material detection. The advancement of sensor technology has opened new pathways for real-time environmental and industrial monitoring. Modern sensors now provide higher sensitivity, selectivity, and rapid response times, allowing early detection of toxic substances even at trace levels. In addition, the integration of nanomaterials, microfluidic systems, and artificial intelligence has enhanced analytical precision and data interpretation. These innovations collectively support global efforts to ensure safety, environmental protection, and sustainable industrial practices. The review thus offers valuable insights into the emerging technologies shaping the next generation of chemical and biosensors for hazardous material detection.

Keywords: Chemical, hazardous molecule sensors, toxic material, gas, signal-transducing components
