The book presents a variety of analytical technologies and methods in order to help professionals, researchers, and graduate and undergraduate students understand chemical residues in agriculture and apply them to applications for the detection and quantification of chemical residues – both organic and inorganic – in several agricultural matrices, including crops, fruits, meat, food, feed, soil and water.
Agriculture remains one of the most strategic sectors for the global economy and well-being. However, it is seen as a source of environmental and health concerns mainly due to the high amount of pesticides and fertilizers used in production systems around the world; moreover, a thorough understanding of the topic is necessary when we consider livestock production systems also apply large amounts of veterinary drugs to treat illness and promote increases in productivity.
- Identifies the main scientific and technological approaches of analytical chemistry dedicated to agricultural and related matrices to solve real problems and for R&D purposes
- Provides a description of the analytical technologies and methodologies used to reduce the negative impact of several agrochemicals on the environment and health
- Explores cutting-edge analytical technologies to detect residues in agricultural and related matrices
Researchers and professionals in agri-science, agronomy, agricultural soil science, food chemistry and engineering, analytical chemistry

Silvio Vaz Jr.
Dr. Sílvio Vaz Jr. hold a B.Sc. degree in Chemistry (with technological assignments) from the Federal University of Uberlândia, a M.Sc. degree in Physical-Chemistry from the University of São Paulo, and a D.Sc. degree in Analytical Chemistry from the University of São Paulo, Brazil, with equivalence of doctorate degrees from the University of Coimbra, Portugal, and from the University of Granada, Spain. Having previously served as director and partner at two private environmental analysis laboratories, he is currently a research scientist at the National Research Center for Agroenergy of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa), where his work focuses on the development of renewable molecules (e.g., eco-friendly lignin products), environmental chemistry (e.g., CO2 capture and use), agricultural chemistry (e.g., controlled release nanoformulations), and the application of analytical chemistry to biomass and bioenergy, according green and sustainable chemistry visions. He was appointed as the chairman of the Brazilian Division of the American Chemical Society (2018-2019). Moreover, he serves as professor of the graduate program in environmental engineering at the Federal University of Ouro Preto, Brazil, and graduate program in biofuels at the Federal University of Uberlândia, Brazil.
