## Description

- description: This review summarizes our progress and effort in the study during
    last seven years of one of the very important class of insecticides – neonicotinoids,
    which are considered as the most effective ones. Advanced active substrates of
    Au and Ag nanoparticles were produced by pulsed-laser deposition and thermal deposition
    on different basic substrates as Si wafers, quartz, paper, aluminum ceramic or
    diamond abrasive films in view of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection
    of the studied neonicotinoids. The SERS peaks intensity rose by at least one order
    of magnitude after the pulsed-laser annealing of the nobble metal films or nanoparticles
    arrays formation. In all cases, the neonicotinoid insecticides in amounts much
    smaller than those ordinarily applied in agricultural medicine were studied. The
    enhancement factor (EF) was estimated to be about ≈ 10E5 (thiamethoxam) as the
    limit of detection (LOD) reached tenths of ≈nM (thiamethoxam and imidacloprid).
    The importance of SERS as a relatively inexpensive and simple method is emphasized
    in monitoring, controlling and regulating the level of such substances as environmental
    pollutants, thus precluding harming the honey bees’ health and thus the human
    health.
