DETERMINATION OF PESTICIDES IN RIVER SURFACE WATERS OF CENTRAL CHILE USING SPE-GC-MS MULTI-RESIDUE METHOD
ABSTRACT In areas with agricultural activity, the excessive use of pesticides can contaminate water resources. That is why a multi-residue method based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) and gas chromatography analysis coupled to mass spectrometry (GS-MS) was used to determine eleven pesticides and fiv...
