Pesticide and herbicide residue determination in food is becoming an especially imperative and challenging issue. Commonly, it involves the simultaneous trace analysis of hundreds of compounds belonging to many chemical classes. This article provides a review of the current status of the routine methods in the monitoring and control of these residues and discusses the analytic problems arising at each stage of the procedure. The role of mass spectrometry in screening, identification, and confirmation of target and nontarget pesticides is highlighted. Consideration is given to new developments and future trends.
