Due to environmental considerations, volumes of renewable power production are rapidly growing, and its share of the energy pool is increasing. The inter- mittent nature of wind power, being one of the main renewable energy sources, is a challenge when generating production forecasts.

Att pesticider används som ett skydd i jordbruket är ingen nyhet, och är en nödvändighet för att skydda odlingarna från diverse insekter, ogräs och mögel. Jord är en komplex matris, och leder till olika upptagningsförmågor av just dessa besprutningar. Ett löpande problem är avsaknaden av instrument där halter av pesticider kan mätas med hög noggrannhet, även vid låga koncentrationer vid analys. MeA cleanup step is essential from an analytical perspective, to improve the chance of quantification and to minimize interference. Pesticides in soil are a necessity is agriculture for survival of crops and protection from unwanted growth and pests. However, an ongoing problem is the lack of instruments where levels of pesticides can be measured with high accuracy, even at low concentrations during
