This book provides a comprehensive overview of herbicides in the sulfonylurea family, ranging from their chemical structure and mechanism of action to their agricultural applications and environmental behavior. It analyzes their efficacy, selectivity, mobility, persistence, and transformation in soil, water, and sediments, as well as the risks to non-target organisms and human health. The book describes sampling strategies, sample preservation and preparation, along with chromatographic, spectrometric, and fluorimetric techniques, as well as optical sensors for their determination. It also addresses their presence in the environment, monitoring programs, and alternatives for prevention, treatment, and remediation. Finally, it examines current challenges and future prospects for promoting a safer, more responsible, and more sustainable use of sulfonylureas.
