title: Determination of alphacypermethrin in the air by capillary gas chromatography.
abstract: A new method for sampling and chemical analysis of alphacypermethrin in workplace air has been described. Air samples were taken using a glass tube filled with silica gel with chemically bounded octadecyl phase. Chromatographic determinations were conducted using an HP-5 capillary column (10 m x 0.53 mm) and an electron-capture detector. Alphacypermethrin recovery was 100.15%. The calculated detection limit for a 60-L air sample was 0.0001 mg/m(3).
