Over 98% of sprayed insecticides and 95% of herbicides reach a destination other than their target species‚ including nontarget species‚ air‚ water‚ bottom sediments‚ and food.[1] Pesticide contaminates land and water when it escapes from production sites and storage tanks‚ when it runs off from fields‚ when it is discarded‚ when it is sprayed aerially‚ and when it is sprayed into water to

mixture through a column of absorbent material. Thin-layer Chromatography uses an absorbent material on flat glass or plastic plates. This is a simple and rapid method to check the purity of an organic compound. It is used to detect pesticide or insecticide residues in food. Thin-layer chromatography is also used in forensics to analyze the dye composition of fibers. Paper Chromatography is one of the most common types of chromatography. It uses a strip of paper as the stationary phase. Capillary
