Analysis of agrochemical compounds and related impurities by chromatographic-mass spectrometric methods. / Karen Haggerty

Swansea University Author: Karen Haggerty

Abstract

Agrochemicals and pesticides are compounds of significant industrial and commercial importance. Over recent years, legislation has increased greatly and with this increased regulation, the necessity for trace impurity analysis of pesticides has grown. Modem chromatographic techniques with both UV an...
