This review article examines the application of electrochemical methods for detecting four prevalent antibiotics - azithromycin (AZM), amoxicillin (AMX), tetracycline (TC), and ciprofloxacin (CIP) - in environmental monitoring. Although, antibiotics are essential to contemporary treatment, their widespread usage has contaminated the environment and given rise to antibiotic resistance. Electrochemical techniques offer sensitive, rapid, and cost-effective solutions for monitoring these antibiotics, addressing the limitations of traditional methods.

Water contaminated with chromium (Cr) poses significant risks to public health and the environment, necessitating reliable detection techniques. This review study uniquely provides a comprehensive analysis of optical methods for detecting Cr pollution in water, focusing on both reagent-based and reagentless approaches, as well as various sensing platforms. Unlike existing reviews that primarily focus on electrochemical and colorimetric/fluorimetric methods, this work highlights the untapped potential of optical technologies, such as colorimetry, SPR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and more, in detecting distinct Cr species, including reagent and reagentless based approaches.

This research addresses the imperative need for efficient underwater exploration in the domain of deep-sea resource development, highlighting the importance of autonomous operations to mitigate the challenges posed by high-stress underwater environments. The proposed approach introduces a hybrid model for Underwater Object Detection (UOD), combining Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) with a Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM). Bi-LSTM excels at capturing long-term dependencies and processing sequences bidirectionally to enhance comprehension of both past and future contexts.
