报告摘要：

Clean air and clean water are the cornerstones of environmental engineering and environmental science. To assure the quality of these matrices, we currently rely upon a broad range of monitoring techniques - many of which are outdated, unreliable, or excessively expensive. Recent advances in both nanotechnology and biotechnology, however, are poised to provide novel and previously unattainable alternatives that have the potential to be more sensitive as well as more cost-effective than many existing methods.In this presentation, we will present work conducted to develop gold enabled plasmonic platforms that facilitate detection of inorganic, organic, biologic, and nanoparticulate contaminants. As will be shown, both light spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy can be used to detect and quantify environmental contaminants in a range of different media.
