Special Issue on “New trends for the determination of pesticides in environmental samples

American Journal of Analytical Chemistry

ISSN Print: 2156-8251 ISSN Online: 2156-8278

 

Pesticides are extensively used in agricultural production to control pests, diseases, weeds and other plant pathogens to minimize yield losses and maintain high product quality. The environmental pollution caused by pesticides and their degradation products is a major ecological and health problem at the moment, since residues from those compounds can be present in natural waters, vegetables and fruits. The chronic effects of pesticides from food intake on human health are not well defined, but there is increasing evidence of carcinogenicity and genotoxicity, as well as disruption of hormonal functions. Therefore, it is very important and necessary to develop methods for analysis of pesticides residues in environmental samples by chromatographic, electroanalytical, spectroscopic techniques, sensors and biosensors, etc. In this special issue, manuscripts concerning the new trends for the determination of pesticides in food, waters and soils samples by diverse techniques are very welcome. For more information, you can visit the following website: http://www.scirp.org/journal/ajac/

 

The special Issue focuses on the determination of pesticides residues in environmental samples (food, waters and soils samples) involved or not previous extraction or clean-up methods by (but is not limited to):

 

  • Chromatographic Techniques Using Various Detection Methods
  • Electroanalytical Techniques
  • Chemical Sensors and Biosensors
  • Spectroscopic Techniques
  • Flow Injection Analysis
