title: Fast gas chromatography for pesticide residues analysis.
abstract: The importance of method development in the area of pesticide residues analysis is apparent from legislative requirements continuously decreasing the maximum acceptable concentration levels in food and water. This covers also contribution in the science in the field of ultra-trace analysis of organic pollutants in complex mixtures. Analysis time is one of the most important aspects that should be considered in the choice of analytical methods for routine application. With this fact, fast gas chromatography (GC) has acquired a real importance in the pesticide residue analysis. This paper provides an overview of fast GC methods for analysis of pesticide residues in variety of matrices at ultra-trace concentration levels. Emphasis is put on the development in the last 6 years.
