Trends and innovations in biosensors for COVID-19 detection in air

Abstract

Pandemic is not a word to use lightly or carelessly. It is a word that, if misused, can reason difficult fear, or unwarranted acceptance that the fight is over, foremost to needless suffering and fatality. Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) has become a deadly disease shaking the whole world. All the countries are facing a crisis in disposing of fast diagnostics of the syndrome, able to be organized to a wide number of persons. To control the spread of this virus harmful results of coronavirus have given rise to the growth of analysis tools. In this urgent situation, many researchers and scientists are working on finding a solution to control the deadly virus. In this chapter, we focused on researching biosensors that could detect the virus in the air. People breathe about 11,000 L of polluted air that is invisible. The major purpose of this sensor is, it could be used as another method and more significant to calculate the concentration of virus in the air, but it won't be the replacement for laboratory tests. Advanced technology, time-consuming and low-cost equipment for this disease spreading virus is in need to control the pandemic at the earliest. This biosensor is prevalent and can detect even minute amounts of viruses present in the air and surroundings.
