Fighting counterfeit pesticides using mid-infrared spectroscopy and chemometrics
The use of pesticides, which are essential for agriculture and public health, poses risks when they are of out of specification or counterfeited, as they may be ineffective, toxic, or harmful to human and animal health, crops, and the environment ...
