Rationale of the solvent selection for soil extraction of pesticide residues

  • Conference paper
Book cover Residue Reviews

Part of the book series: Residue Reviews ((RECT,volume 87))

Abstract

Monitoring soils for persistent pesticides residues requires accurate and sensitive analytical methods. Residue extraction, the first step in a long multi-stage procedure, is as important as the subsequent analyses because residues that are not extracted are not measured. Similarly, erroneous monitoring data of industrial contaminants in the environment could result if ineffective extraction procedures are used. Important to the final results of a residue analysis are the collection of the soil sample, storage, the degree of weathering or aging of the sample, preparation prior to extraction, soil texture, water content of the soil sample, the organic solvent used, solvent-soil contact time, mechanical handling of the mixture (stripping), and the amount of co-extractives and the nature of their interference.
