Role of Quantum Dots in Volatile Poison Detection

Abstract

Volatile poisons are volatile organic carbon-based compounds that easily release from indoor surroundings (for example paints, furnishings, building materials) or industry productions because of their relatively low boiling points. The detection of volatile toxins can be done in a variety of ways. Various kinds of sensors have been created to analyze volatile organic toxins. Volatile poison sensors are generally easy to use, inexpensive, programmable, and portable. Future developments will include innovations or combinations of advanced technologies for volatile poisons sampling, detection, and analysis, as well as validation and standardization of these methods for practical clinical use. This chapter will provide an overview and critical analysis of the sampling, collecting, detection, and analytical techniques linked to volatile substances, with a focus on current advancements in nanomaterials such quantum dot-based sensors.
