The nanotube electrodes used for the analysis of preliminary screening of some components such as mancozeb, used in banana production in Costa Rica and is highly damaging to the water and soil, can contribute to sustainable development. “Cyclic voltammetry is a widely used technique, which allows studying a wide range of phenomena in all fields of science. Recent laptops reduce costs and enable focus primarily on the development of new materials and methodologies simple, low cost and high sensitivity. Since the effectiveness of the methodology depends largely on the specificity of the electrode it is important to study the use of different conductive polymers both as nanostructures (nanotubes, or graphene) to improve the specificity and sensitivity of the technique in determining certain components in water. Such a system would facilitate affected communities; take preventive measures such as the concentration of hazardous substances do aquifers.
