| Summary |
"Consumer concerns on food safety and awareness of chemical contaminants in the environment have put the spotlight on the regulation of pesticide use. Presenting the latest research in the field, Analysis of Pesticides in Food and Environmental Samples critically examines the analytical methods and instrumentation used to determine pesticide residues in soil, water, and air, as well as foods from vegetal and animal origin. Edited by experts, with contributions from an international panel, the book introduces pesticide classes and physiochemical properties, followed by trends in sample preparation, pesticide analysis, and quality assurance."--BOOK JACKET |
