Analysis Methods of Common Herbicides in Biological Material and Research Progress.

Abstract Herbicides are a kind of chemical or biological agents that can effectively destroy or inhibit weed growth. Because of the widespread and frequent use of herbicides, herbicide poisonings have often been reported. At present, the main species reported to have caused poisoning are paraquat, diquat, glyphosate, and glufosinate. The main instrumental analysis method is LC-MS. This paper reviews the research progress on analysis methods of common herbicides in biological material and their application, summarizes the sample pretreatment and instrumental analysis situation of qualitative and quantitative analysis of herbicides in biological material, and collects test data of actual poisoning cases, to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment and forensic identification of herbicide poisoning.
