Critical assessment of performance characteristics of methods applicable in determination of multiple residues of modern pesticides in drinking water and foodstuffs.

The main objective of the presented dissertation was to improve two important performance characteristics of methods applicable for determination of multiple residues of modern pesticides in drinking water and foods: the analysis time and the sample throughput. In gas chromatography, which is the prevailing determinative technique in pesticide multiresidue analysis, two significant trends, both potentially contributing to the increased sample throughput, can be observed. the use of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as a primary tool for determination of analytes and attempts to increase speed of GC analysis.Available from STL, Prague, CZ / NTK - National Technical LibrarySIGLECZCzech Republi
