Unique features of polymeric nanocomposites such as excellent conductance, mechanical and chemical stability, light weight, presence of various active sites and their strong adherence to electrode surface made them valuable materials for the development of sensors. In this review, the recent advancement in polymeric nanocomposites for sensing heavy metals, pesticides and antibiotics have been summarized. Moreover, this review mainly focuses to open new windows for practical applications of polymeric nanocomposites towards the development of unique sensing platform with enhanced characteristics. Advantages, disadvantages and operating conditions of various polymeric nanocomposites for sensing various environmental pollutants have also been discussed. Various polymeric materials such as PMMA, PANI, polypyrrole (PPY) and polymethylene green (PMG) hybridized with various inorganic components have been explored for their potential to detect antibiotics, pesticides and heavy metals in aqueous systems. Hybridized materials showed enhanced conductivity, many active sites, great sensitivity and selectivity towards targeted pollutants. Hence, polymeric nanocomposite based platform proved as an appropriate candidate for the detection of different pollutants in sensing limit from ppb to ppm
