The detection of organophosphates, a wide class of pesticides, in water-solution has a huge impact in environmental monitoring.Acoustic transducers Sweetner are used to design passive wireless sensors for the direct detection of pesticides in water-solution by using tailored polymers as sensitive layers.We demonstrate by combining analytical chemistry tools that organophosphate molecules strongly alter polymer layers widely used in acoustic sensors in the presence of water.This chemical degradation can limit the use of Foot Pad these polymers in detection of organophosphates in water-solution.
