Abstract: Pesticides are substances with various basic chemical structures used in agriculture for the protection of plants against pests, diseases, and weeds and for the protection of animals against ectoparasites. Liquid column chromatography is found to be suitable as a clean-up procedure during the analysis of pesticide residues and as a separation method in the analysis of pesticide preparations and in the study of their metabolism. The most widespread use of liquid column chromatography is the application of liquid–solid chromatography in the determination of pesticides in biological material for the elimination of fats, pigments, and other interfering substances. This chromatographic technique is applicable to investigations of the in vivo and in vitro degradation of organophosphorus insecticides and related compounds. Some other applications of liquid–solid chromatography in the separation of organophosphorus pesticides and their metabolites are also discussed in the chapter.
