Many types of sensors have been invented to identify and quantify chemical contaminants in the gas phase. Sensors based on carbon nanotubes are particularly attractive because of their wide range of applications and potential use in an electronic nose that can be controlled using algorithms of Articificial Inteligence. Sensor functions, fabrication and selected applications are reviewed and discussed with focus on chemiresistors. Drawbacks and challenges in applications are also addressed.
