Assessment of multiresidue pesticides in agricultural soils from Ledang, Malaysia and related potential health risks

Residues were isolated using the Soxhlet extraction method, following a clean-up process (SPE Florosil) and a final determination of targeted compounds performed by using a gas chromatography electron capture detector.
