Developing safety regulations for pesticides used around the world-in excess of 2.5 million tons annually-requires reliable analytical methods for assessing their impact in food and in the environment. Analysis of Pesticides in Food and Environmental Samples presents the most effective techniques for analyzingpesticide residues and other chemical contaminants in foods as well as in soil, water, and air. Renowned Scientists Report New Data and Advances in the Field The book introduces sample preparation, extraction, and analytical methods specific to each sample type, including foods from vegetal and animal origin. Other chapters discuss important aspects of quality assurance and the applicability of hyphenated analytical techniques. In addition to a practical chapter on the use of biosensors and immunoassays for monitoring and gathering exposure data, the book addresses regulatory aspects and presents current data on thelevels of pesticides found in food and environmental matrices. Latest MethodsHelp Scientists Develop Safer, More Effective Pesticides Analysis of Pesticides in Food and Environmental Samples enables scientists to measure and predictthe behavior and toxicity of pesticides with a higher degree of accuracy. Themethodologies and insight in this timely work will contribute to the development of more effective, less toxic pesticides as well as better safety regulations.
