ABSTRACT
Many currently employed environmental pesticide methods were developed decades ago using then available technology. Furthermore, these methods were designed to analyze the spectrum of pesticides in then-current use, many of which are now rarely encountered in environmental samples. Consequently, a view is emerging that environmental pesticide methods are in need of updating to fully take advantage of the advances in modern instrumentation and column technology and to address the broad range of newer pesticides now in current use. In responding to this challenge, it is instructive to consider the analytical work that is being done in other areas. This session will address the progress and limitations of US pesticide analyses and look across industries and geographical boundaries for input on other pesticides identification and quantitation methodologies.
