Microwave-assisted extraction of pyrethroid insecticides from semi permeable membrane devices (SPMDs) used to indoor air monitoring

2006

Abstract A rapid and environmentally friendly methodology was developed for the extraction of pyrethroid insecticides from semi permeable membrane devices (SPMDs), in which they were preconcentrated in gas phase. The method was based on gas chromatography mass–mass spectrometry determination after a microwave-assisted extraction, in front of the widely employed dialysis method. SPMDs were extracted twice with 30 mL hexane:acetone, irradiated with 250 W power output, until 90 °C in 10 min, this temperature being held for another 10 min. Clean-up of the extracts was performed by acetonitrile–hexane partitioning and solid-phase extraction (SPE) with a combined cartridge of 2 g basic-alumina, d…
