Analytical methods to analyze pesticides and herbicides

Abstract

This paper reviews studies published in 2019, in the area of analytical techniques for determination of pesticides and herbicides. It should be noted that some of the reports summarized in this review are not directly related to but could potentially be used for water environment studies. Based on different methods, the literatures are organized into six sections, namely extraction methods, electrochemical techniques, spectrophotometric techniques, chemiluminescence and fluorescence methods, chromatographic and mass spectrometric techniques, and biochemical assays.

Spectrophotometric detection and quantification limits of fipronil and neonicotinoids in acetonitrile

“…Pest control agents, often known as pesticides, are among the most studied pollutants since they are essential in agriculture and can also be used in other fields as plant growth regulators, desiccants, and defoliants, among other things (Kuster et al, 2006). The review covers a wide spectrum of reports on the techniques to determine pesticides in aqueous and other matrices, including extraction methods, spectrophotometric techniques, electrochemical techniques, fluorescence methods, biochemical assays, chromatographic and mass spectrometric techniques (Li et al, 2020). Bustamante et al (2019) designed polymer films containing diazonium salts anchored chemically for colorimetric determination of 2-phenylphenol derivatives in water.…”

Sensitive Electrochemical Determination of Trifluralin at a Disposable Pencil Graphite Electrode

“…Although these compounds are beneficial to humanity in crop protection, their unconscious and extensive uses in many countries have brought along serious and tremendous negative impacts on the environment and great harm to humans. In this context, the determination of pesticide levels in various samples such as water, fruits, vegetables, and soil is of great importance and many methods have been developed on the pesticide determination [2,3].…”
