The applicability of differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and adsorptivestripping voltammetry (AdSV) at a non-toxic meniscus-modified silver solid amalgamelectrode (m-AgSAE) for the determination of trace amounts of genotoxic substances wasdemonstrated on the determination of micromolar and submicromolar concentrations of3-nitrofluoranthene using methanol - 0.01 mol L^-1 NaOH (9:1) mixture as a base electrolyteand of Ostazine Orange using 0.01 mol L^-1 NaOH as a base electrolyte.

The review with 132 references is focused on the electroanalytical behavior of pesticides related to their chemical structure. Relative advantages and disadvantages of their determination on various electrodes are discussed and recent works dealing with both batch voltammetric methods and methods employing amperometric detection in flow systems are summarized.
