The sewage samples exhibited similar interferences in EI/MS/MS but to a lesser extent. For example, deltamethrin-spiked sewage showed some el- evation in baseline but gave a similar response to the calibration standard.


Conclusion The increasing use of pyrethroids has highlighted the importance of en- vironmental monitoring, particularly since these compounds have been found in even secondary-treated municipal wastewater and biosolids. Due to the toxic nature of pyrethroids and resulting environmental im- pact, low reporting limits in water and soil samples is required. However, this demands robust and sensitive instruments and methods. Advanced GC-MS/MS techniques with multiple reaction monitoring provide a plat- form for low-level pesticide analysis by delivering good specifi city and selectivity in complex matrices. It has also proved important to evaluate the ionization technique alongside the matrix to deliver enhanced perfor- mance. In this case, NCI combined with MS/MS clearly provides the best results for most pyrethroids in the matrices studied.
