 garh-160030\, India\n\nAbstract: Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) have emerged o
 ut as potential competitor to semiconductor QDs\, and are quasi-spherical 
 nanoparticles consisting of amorphous to nano-crystalline cores. The excel
 lent features in terms of high chemical stability\, low-cost synthesis\, e
 asy scalability\, environmental friendliness\, broadband optical absorptio
 n\, low toxicity\, strong photoluminescence (PL) emission\, and optical pr
 operties make them a potential material in photo-catalysis\, bio-sensing\,
  drug delivery\, chemical sensing\, bio imaging and electro-catalysis doma
 in. Herein\, we present them as sensitive and selective sensor material fo
 r toxic heavy metals &amp; metalloids (Arsenic\, Selenium &amp; Chromium) detectio
 n in water below WHO guidelines. The surface of as synthesized CQDs is mod
 ified with appropriate ligand and assays are established for their applica
 tion toxic metals/metalloids determination in water. The developed sensor 
 interface is fully characterized in terms of its structural (HR-TEM\, XRD\
 , SEM\, etc.) and optical (UFS\, XPS\, PL\, UV-Vis\, Raman) properties. Be
 sides\, the technical parameters have been extracted to design a portable 
 optical system for on-site detection of these pollutants in water\, which 
 is the present need. The in-vitro toxicity study of CQDs is also conducted
  to understand their toxic effect before environmental application deploym
 ent.\n\nKeywords: CQDs\, Heavy Metals/Metalloids\, Water\, Portable Device
