Abstract
Understanding the environmental fate and transport mechanisms of pesticides is essential to undertake environmental risk assessment and implement risk management strategies. The process starts by identifying the target substances (either pesticides or their transformation products), the target matrices to analyze (water, air, soil, sediment, biomass matrices), and the analytical methods to use for the determination of the residues in environmental samples. Analysis and regular monitoring of environmental specimens is costly and difficult to undertake. The aims of this chapter are to briefly discuss the transport mechanisms and pesticide regulations and to present some analytical options for the monitoring and the analysis of pesticide residues in environmental samples including the passive sampling technology.
