Abstract The environmental pollution has become a serious issue because the pollutants can cause permanent damage to DNA, nervous system, and circulating resulting in various incurable diseases, such as organ failure, malformation, angiocardiopathy, cancer. effective detection of is urgently needed keep them far away from daily life. Among reported pollutant sensors, luminescent metal–organic frameworks (LMOFs) with tunable structures have attracted remarkable attention detect their excellent selectivity, sensitivity, recyclability. Although lots framework (MOF)‐based sensors been summarized discussed previous reviews, pollutants, especially radioactive ions heavy metal ions, still not systematically presented. Here, sensing mechanisms construction principles MOFs are discussed, state‐of‐the‐art MOF‐based including pesticides, antibiotics, explosives, VOCs, toxic gas, small molecules, highlighted. This comprehensive review may further guide development promote practical applications for pollutants.
