Abstract

Many pesticides have been used in agriculture to increase the yield and quality of food. For this reason, regulations are developed to monitor the residues of these compounds in different matrices. The great challenge for the analysis of pesticide residues in biotic matrices is related to the great variety and quantity of chemical structures used to increase crop yields. In this sense, researchers are studying ways to broadly assess potential environmental risks, and it is necessary to develop and validate methods for analyzing high-yielding pesticides, wide coverage, sensitivity and low cost.

This chapter presents the main methods used to determine pesticide residues in aquatic, terrestrial and human ecosystems. as well as alternative methodologies, which help in the identification of polluted environments, such as the use of bioindicator organisms present in these environments and sensitive biomarkers, to evaluate the effects of these chemicals on the proposed matrices.
