This project will use mass spectrometry based instrumental techniques GC-MS, LC-MS and GC-ICP-MS. The project will develop sample preparation technology and instrumental methods capable of pushing pesticide and herbicide residue detection limits to levels necessary for Australia to protect its food export markets over the next 5-15 years. By analogy, the project will improve the current required detection levels (0.01 ppm or 10ppb), equivalent to detecting a teaspoon of residue in a family swimming pool; to the projected future detection levels, equivalent to detecting a drop of residue in an Olympic swimming pool.
