Determination of Pesticides and Persistent Organic Pollutants in Honey by Accelerated Solvent Extraction and GC-MS/MS

Honey is a natural product that is generally considered a natural and healthy product of animal origin, free of impurities. However, honey bees are subject to a number of diseases and infestations as well as pollutants in the environment. Due to the potential toxicity, a comprehensive workflow method for the extraction and analysis of these environmental pollutants is of growing importance to ensure the health and safety of bees and their honey.
