Analytical Methods for Agricultural Contaminants provides proven laboratory practices and methods necessary in analysis to control contaminants and residues in food and water. This reference provides insight into good laboratory practices and examples of methods used in individual specialist laboratories, enabling stakeholders in the agri-food industry to appreciate the importance of proven, reliable data and the associated quality assurance approaches for end product testing for toxic levels of contaminants and contaminant residues in food.

Analytical Methods for Agricultural Contaminants offers standard operating procedures and tools for researchers, practitioners, and students to confidently engage in using research methods with the aim to control contaminants. It is a practical and useful reference to anyone in a laboratories setting needing a systematic way to detect and control agricultural contaminants for a safe food supply.

• Provides coverage of risk assessment and effective testing technologies
• Presents the most up-to-date information in research sample preparation and method validation to detect chemical residues
• Includes examples of each method for practical application
• Demonstrates proven, reliable research data and the associated quality assurance approaches for end product testing
