Recent developments and applications of QuEChERS based techniques on food samples during pesticide analysis
TL;DR: QuEChERS (Quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) is one of the pre-treatment techniques that has gained tremendous popularity among researchers during pesticide analysis of food and agricultural samples as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosorbents for the removal of synthetic organics and emerging pollutants: Opportunities and challenges for developing countries
TL;DR: The application of biosorption for removal of organic contaminants in developing countries is attractive for three reasons: (1) large quantities of biomaterials for use as biosorbents are readily available; (2) lack of advanced water and wastewater treatment systems for removing organic contaminants; and (3) the technology is relatively cheap compared to advanced methods (e.g. membrane filtration) often used in developed countries.
