Introduction: Electrochemical sensors have a key role in monitoring the existence of organic chemicals found in samples. Discharging industrial toxic chemicals and the incomplete burning of coal have been linked to carcinogenic effects on humans. As such, hazardous organic chemicals must be determined and monitored. Detecting these organic compounds is crucial due to their detrimental environmental impact. Methods: Researchers have shown significant interest in the development of nanomaterials-based electrochemical sensors for detecting organic compounds. Results: Different databases were searched (e.g., Google Scholar, Web of Science, SCOPUS, ScienceDirect, etc.), and it was found that organic chemical hazards i.e., nitrophenols, bisphenol A, resorcinol, catechol, nitrotoluenes, etc are commonly used in different products that are being used in our daily life routine. Those substances, including their byproducts, raise serious human health concerns. Discussion: With their excellent surface-to-volume ratio, strong catalytic properties, and easy miniaturization, nanocomposite materials are now the leading ‘electrode materials’ for sensing toxic chemical compounds. Conclusion: The authors attempted to summarise the recent advances in electrochemical sensing of other analytes (as chemical hazards) in various samples or bodies, including water, food, pharmaceuticals, and milk, based on the literature reported from 2017 to 2025.
