Artificial Sweeteners as Environmental Tracers Artificial sweeteners have emerged as powerful environmental tracers in recent years, providing unique insights into water contamination pathways and human activity patterns. Unlike traditional wastewater indicators, these compounds exhibit remarkable persistence in aquatic environments and resist conventional water treatment processes. Their widespread use in food, beverages, and pharmaceutical products, combined

Importance of Pesticide Metabolite Monitoring in Soil Pesticide metabolite monitoring in soil represents a critical frontier in environmental analytical chemistry. While parent pesticide compounds have been extensively studied, their transformation products often exhibit different physicochemical properties, mobility characteristics, and toxicological profiles. According to environmental research, metabolites can be more persistent, more mobile, and sometimes more
