How Do Fluorophores Contribute to Environmental Toxicology?
In environmental toxicology, fluorophores aid in the detection and quantification of pollutants in air, water, and soil. They can be used to trace the pathway of pollutants, monitor environmental remediation efforts, and assess the impact of toxicants on ecosystems. Fluorophore-based sensors and probes are developed to detect specific contaminants, providing rapid and sensitive assessments of environmental health.
