Their toxicity justifies the crucial need of accurate and reliable methods to monitor the level of pesticides for safety considerations. Moreover, the area of biodefense is also interesting in this field of research, since several organophosphate compounds can be used as nerve agents (i.e., sarin and soman). The development and continual improvement of analytical methods for the determination of this large group of compounds, mostly at trace level, is a great challenge for analysts, and constimtes the subject of research and development for contemporary analytical chemistry. ...

Neurotoxic compounds have been traditionally the largest category of acaricides, with several representatives from the organophosphate, carbamate, and pyreth-roid classes. Several new pyrethroid compounds such as acrinathrin, lubrocythri-nate and halfenprox and an analog of the macrolide abamectin milbemectin were recently introduced as acaricides. A completely new acaricidal chemistry has been found with carbazate chemistry [1].
