Arsenic monitoring is of paramount importance due to its toxicity, which poses potential public health hazards. While numerous sensitive methods exist, many are unsuitable for on-site, rapid, real-time measurements, and their sensor preparation is often time-consuming and intricate. Addressing this gap necessitates the development of an easy-to-use, rapid, and reasonably affordable arsenic detection device featuring an eco-friendly sensor. For on-site arsenic monitoring, the optimal solution involves creating a sensitive impedimetric electrochemical sensor that is real-time, fast, low-cost, simple to design and use, and portable. This study introduces an electrochemical impedimetric sensor with a patent-pending, solid electrolyte based on gelatin enriched with dimercaprol. The results demonstrate the detection of phenylarsine oxide in real drinking water samples, achieving a detection limit of 0.02 ng/mL within the linear range of 0.05 ng/mL to 100 ng/mL in just 40 minutes, utilizing a simple method and easily accessible, inexpensive, biodegradable chemicals. The methodology yields a sensitive sensor with biodegradable potential, exerting a negligible impact on the environment and human health.
