Analysis of Chemical Residues in Agriculturepresents a focused, yet comprehensive, guide to identifying, evaluating, and analyzing the wide range of chemicals that impact our food production system. Agriculture remains one of the most strategic sectors for the global economy and well-being. However, it is seen as a source of environmental and health concerns due, mainly, the high amount of agrochemicals, as pesticides and fertilizers, used in the production systems around the world; moreover, when we consider the livestock production systems they also applied large amounts of veterinary drugs to treat illness and to promote increase in the productivity. Agrochemicals generates residues, which are presented in crops, fruits, meat and processed products (food and feed) that need permanent monitoring and control. In this way, the measure of chemical residues in agriculture and livestock is paramount, and analytical chemistry can certainly contribute to the generation of wealth and health for the modern society. The use of advanced analytical techniques as chromatography, spectroscopy, spectrometry, electrochemistry, among others, can generate reliable information about the quality of several products and raw materials. As the demand from the modern society for a sustainable production of food has promoted the development of policies considering aspects as reducing of negative impacts on environment and health, friendly materials and molecules, bioactive compounds, etc. Analysis of Chemical Residues in Agriculturepresents a variety of analytical technologies and methods in order to help professionals, researchers, and graduate and undergraduate students in the understanding and application of the most adequate analytical approach for the detection and quantification of chemical residues organic and inorganic in several agricultural matrices, including crops, fruits, meat, food, feed, soil and water. Identifies the main scientific and technological approaches of analytical chemistry dedicated to agricultural and related matrices to solve real problems and to R&D&I purposesProvides description of analytical technologies and methodologies to reduce the negative impact of several agrochemicals on environment and healthExplores cutting-edge analytical technologies to detect residues in agricultural and related matrices | Analysis Of Chemical Residues In Agriculture by Silvio Vaz Jr., Paperback | Indigo Chapters
