DETERMINATION OF PESTICIDES BY THIN-LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY

Advances in the applications of TLC and HPTLC for the separation, dete ction, and qualitative and quantitative determination of pesticides, o ther agrochemicals, and related compounds are reviewed for the period 1994-1996. Analyses are covered for a variety of samples, such as food and environmental, and for residues of pesticides of various types, I ncluding insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides, belonging to differ ent chemical classes. A limited number of references on formulation an alysis and the use of radio-TLC for studies of pesticide metabolism ar e also included. A collection of representative chromatographic system s for practical separations and analyses of a variety of pesticides is presented at the end of the review.
