EPA Method 8270C SIM: Pyrethroids

Irvine Laboratory

Method Application:

This method analyzes for pyrethroids using an Agilent 5975 GC/MS with negative chemical ionization (NCI) in selective ion monitoring (SIM) EPA method mode. 1 L water samples are extracted by 3510C. The reporting limit for the pyrethroids is 5 parts per trillion (ppt or ng/L) and compounds of interest include:

Allethrin Cypermethrin, Total Pallethrin
Bifenthrin Danitol Tau-Fluvalinate
Cis-Permithrin Deltamethrin Trans-Permithrin
Cyfluthrin, Total Esfenvalerate/Fenvalerate, Total
L-Cyhalothrin

 

Market Application:

This method is designed for monitoring entities that are required to test for pyrethroids, which in California have been found at acutely toxic levels in some sediments and waterways.

Pyrethroids are synthetic chemical compounds generally found in household insecticides. The concentrations in these products are generally harmless to humans however they are toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms.

Advantages:

This is a specialized method utilizing the latest GC/MS technology which enables a reporting limit in the low parts per trillion (ppt) range for these emergent chemicals. TestAmerica is one of a few commercial laboratories that offer this method.
