title: Recent advances in the thin-layer chromatography of pesticides: a review.
abstract: Advances in the applications of thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and high-performance TLC for the separation, detection, identification, and determination of pesticides, other agrochemicals, and related compounds are reviewed for the period 2000-2002. Analyses are described for a variety of samples, such as food, biological, and environmental samples, and for residues of pesticides of various types, including insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides, belonging to different chemical classes. References are included for residue analysis, hydrophobicity studies, and the use of TLC and thin-layer radiochromatography for studies of pesticide metabolism, degradation, uptake, and related topics.
