Based on the unique properties of carbon dots (CDs), a number of detection methods with high performances have been built through various strategies for different pesticides and veterinary drugs, including organophosphorus pesticides, tetracyclines, quinolones and others. The performances of these detection methods are comparable or even better than conventional approaches as detection limits of some methods can reach pg/mL level. However, these methods have not been systematically reviewed. This article aims to provide a comprehensively review on the main response mechanisms of CDs to such analytes, selectivity improvement approaches and their wide applications in the detections of pesticides and veterinary drugs in water, plant and animal foods, etc. It is our hope that this review will promote the advance of CDs applied in the detections of pesticides and veterinary drugs, and open perspectives toward the construction of new detection methods based on CDs with high sensitivity, selectivity and accuracy.

基于碳点 (CD) 的独特性质，通过对不同农药和兽药（包括有机磷农药、四环素、喹诺酮类药物等）的各种策略，已经建立了许多高性能的检测方法。这些检测方法的性能与传统方法相当甚至更好，因为某些方法的检测限可以达到 pg/mL 水平。然而，这些方法还没有被系统地审查过。本文旨在对CDs对此类分析物的主要响应机制、选择性改进方法及其在水、植物和动物食品等农药和兽药检测中的广泛应用进行全面综述。. 我们希望这篇综述能够推动CDs在农药和兽药检测中的应用进展，并为构建基于CDs的高灵敏度、选择性和准确度的新检测方法开辟前景。
