Electrochemical techniques are appealing for the detection of pollutants due to their instrumental simplicity, rapid response, ease of use and cost-effectiveness. More importantly, they provide real-time reliable information about the chemical composition of the surrounding environment. This reference text provides a comprehensive overview of the various voltammetric methods employed in the development of electrochemical interfaces as sensors for the detection of agricultural pollutants. The book covers the fabrication of electrochemical sensors using numerous functional materials and will introduce the fundamentals of electrochemical sensing technology, analytical methodologies and reliable procedures for modifying sensor regimes for selective and trace analysis of agricultural contaminants. The book explores emerging agricultural environmental pollutants, and will discuss the impact of these pollutants on public health, the occurrence of the pollutants in the environment, and how their physiochemical properties can be examined using electrochemical techniques.
