REVIEW ANALYSIS OF ORGANOCHLORINE PESTICIDE RESIDUES IN PLANTS WITH GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY METHODS

Abstract

The use of pesticides in the agricultural sector can overcome pest attacks and diseases on crops. Pesticide residue levels that exceed the maximum residue limit (BMR) will be a bad effect on health and the environment. Pesticides that cause the most damage to the environment and human health are the organochlorine group. Levels of organochlorine pesticide residues can be analyzed through gas chromatography (GC) methods. This study aims to describe the levels of organolcorin pesticide residues in a wide variety of plants using gas chromatography (GC) methods. The results of analysis from several literature studies show that the use of gas chromatography (GC) methods can analyze organochlorine pesticide residues contained in plants because they have a high level of sensitivity.
