An overview of analytical methods currently used for the determination of pesticide residues in water samples is presented. As liquid chromatography and gas chromatography, coupled to mass spectrometry, are considered to be the most appropriate techniques for determination of pesticides in environmental waters, the most recent developments and applications in this field are discussed, as well as the extraction procedures employed for analyte isolation and preconcentration.
