Electrochemistry of pesticides and its analytical applications.

Abstract

The review with 132 references is focused on the electroanalytical behavior of pesticides related to their chemical structure. Relative advantages and disadvantages of their determination on various electrodes are discussed and recent works dealing with both batch voltammetric methods and methods employing amperometric detection in flow systems are summarized.
