This manuscript briefly reviews several researches on mercury pollution, chitosan as the advance material and mercury sensor fabricated from chitosan based materials. Chitosan is a natural polymer that has structure analogue to cellulose. It contains many functional groups that provide binding sites for metal ions including mercury ions. Chitosan could stabilize gold and silver nanoparticles and the presence of mercury ion affected on the particle arrangement. The intensity of nanoparticle spectra decrease gradually with increasing the concentration of mercury ions. © 2015, BIOFLUX SRL. All rights reserved.
