This paper deals with the analysis of pesticide residues by chromatographic methods in samples of plant origin. Emphasis is put on the isolation and clean-up steps of the sample preparation for GC or LC determination. The problems of the extraction solvent selection and clean-up procedures using different types of adsorption column chromatography or gel permeation chromatography are discussed. ...

Pesticide residue analysis is used to support a wide variety of activities including crop protection research, environmental monitoring, consumer protection and legislative enforcement. It is undertaken by research institutes, academic institutions, private laboratories and governmental organizations. In the developed world, pesticide residue laboratories are readily accessible and, on balance,...

Fast identification of pesticide residue level in lettuce leaves plays a key role in the test of food safety. In order to identify the different concentrations pesticide residues of lettuce leaves in a fast and nondestructive way, the hyperspectra coupled with chlorophyll fluorescence spectra was used in this research. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to identify the microstructu...

Although bats are reported as being threatened by pesticides, they are currently not considered in European Union pesticide risk assessments. The reason for that contradiction is probably related to the scarcity of information on bat activity in pesticide-treated fields and the pesticide residues on their food items. The authors recorded bat activity and measured pesticide residues on bat-speci...
