Analytical Methods for Pesticides, Plant Growth Regulators, and Food Additives, Volume II: Insecticides contains detailed analytical procedures for analysis of 47 widely used insecticides. This volume is composed of 47 chapters that cover the history, biological and chemical properties, and physical constants of these insecticides. Each chapter presents first the general information, followed by intensive discussion of the methods of occurrence and residue analysis of the insecticide. Methods of analysis covered in each chapter include chemical methods, gas-liquid chromatography, colorimetry, and enzymatic techniques. Each chapter also provides analysis of phosphorus and acetylcholinesterase inhibition of the insecticide, which is classified into two groups, namely, organochlorine and organophosphorus. Agriculturists, analytical chemists, and toxicologists will find this book rewarding.

Analytical Methods for Pesticides, Plant Growth Regulators, and Food Additives, Volume 1: Principles, Methods, and General Applications provides information on analytical techniques useful for the determination of pesticides, plant growth regulators, and food additives. The book discusses the potential hazard of minute residues to human and animal health; the principles of formulation and residue analyses; and the principles of food additive analysis. The text also describes the extraction and clean-up procedures; and the principles of toxicological testing methods. The methods for pesticide analysis in meat products; and the formulation and residue analysis in government laboratories are also considered. The book further tackles other methods, such as spectrophotometric methods, chromatography, isotope methods, enzymatic methods; and bioassay. Agricultural toxicologists and people studying pesticides and food additives will find the text invaluable.
