What is it about?
Organophosphate pesticides (OPs) are extensively used in agriculture to protect crops from pests. However, their widespread use has raised significant environmental and health concerns due to their high toxicity and persistence in the environment. Effective monitoring and detection of OP residues in food and water are critical to ensure safety and compliance with regulatory standards. This review explores the latest advancements in sensitive detection technologies for organophosphate pesticides, emphasizing novel methodologies that enhance sensitivity, selectivity, and rapid detection.
