This mini-review covers the newly developed biosensoristic and chemosensoristic devices described in recent literature for detection of contaminants in both environmental and food real matrices. Current needs in environmental and food surveillance of contaminants require new simplified, sensitive systems, which are portable and allow for rapid and on-site monitoring and diagnostics. Here, we focus on optical and electrochemical bio/chemosensoristic devices as promising tools with interesting analytical features that can be potentially exploited for innovative on-site and real-time applications for diagnostics and monitoring of environmental and food matrices (e.g., agricultural waters and milk). In near future, suitably developed and implemented bio/chemosensoristic devices will be a new and modern technological solution for the identification of new quality and safety marker indexes as well as for a more proper and complete characterization of abovementioned environmental and food matrices. Integrated bio/chemosensoristic devices can also allow an "holistic approach" that may prove to be more suitable for diagnostics of environmental and food real matrices, where the copresence of more bioactive substances is frequent. Therefore, this approach can be focused on the determination of net effect (mixture effect) of bioactive substances present in real matrices.
本综述涵盖了近期文献中描述的新开发的生物传感和化学传感设备，用于检测环境和食品实际基质中的污染物。当前环境和食品污染物监测的需求需要新的简化、灵敏的系统，这些系统便于携带，能够进行快速现场监测和诊断。在此，我们重点关注光学和电化学生物/化学传感设备，它们作为有前景的工具具有有趣的分析特性，可潜在地用于环境和食品基质（如农业用水和牛奶）诊断与监测的创新现场和实时应用。在不久的将来，经过适当开发和应用的生物/化学传感设备将成为一种新的现代技术解决方案，用于识别新的质量和安全标记指标，以及更准确、全面地表征上述环境和食品基质。集成生物/化学传感设备还可采用“整体方法”，这可能被证明更适合诊断环境和食品实际基质，因为其中经常同时存在多种生物活性物质。因此，这种方法可专注于测定实际基质中生物活性物质的净效应（混合效应）。
