This review investigates the use of thermal analysis (TA) methods for the assessment of agricultural chemical residues. It also focuses on the use of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential TA (DTA) to evaluate the thermal characteristics and degradation products of such residues. An extensive literature review was conducted in scientific databases such as Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science to identify relevant studies published between 2000 and 2023. This review also highlights the success of TA in the detection of residue composition and stability as well as the potential hazards posed to the environment. The findings of this review demonstrate that TA methods offer valuable information on the thermal stability and degradation profiles of several agricultural chemicals and are therefore useful in assessing the long-term environmental impact of such chemicals. The discussion majorly revolves around the advantages of thermal techniques over conventional chemical techniques, such as their ability to analyze complex mixtures with minimal sample preparation. Overall, this review finds that TA is a valuable tool for environmental monitoring to help improve sustainable agricultural practices through better management and understanding of chemical residues in the environment.
本综述探讨了热分析（TA）方法在评估农药残留方面的应用。它还着重介绍了差示扫描量热法（DSC）、热重分析（TGA）和差示热分析（DTA）用于评估此类残留的热特性和降解产物。在Scopus、PubMed和Web of Science等科学数据库中进行了广泛的文献综述，以识别2000年至2023年期间发表的相关研究。本综述还强调了热分析在检测残留成分和稳定性以及对环境造成的潜在危害方面的成功之处。本综述的结果表明，热分析方法提供了有关几种农药热稳定性和降解曲线的有价值信息，因此有助于评估此类化学品对环境的长期影响。讨论主要围绕热分析技术相对于传统化学技术的优势，例如其能够以最少的样品制备分析复杂混合物的能力。总体而言，本综述发现热分析是环境监测的宝贵工具，有助于通过更好地管理和了解环境中的化学残留来改善可持续农业实践。
