Nanoscale metallic particles are of great interest due to their importance in advanced technological applications. Green synthetic procedures that produce gram-scale, well defined and monodisperse metallic nanoparticles with controlled size and shape, is an emerging need for environmental applications. This presentation demonstrates a facile process for the development of plasmonic nanosensors. The nanoparticles were characterized using spectroscopic, microscopic and x-ray techniques. The nanoparticle surfaces were modified with biological ligands with high sensitivity toward pharmaceuticals that are often found in the environment.  The results are paramount toward understanding and developing advanced materials for the detection of toxic environmental pollutants. <br/>
