Product analysis of pyrethroids reviewed by E. Papadopoulou-Mourkidou in Comp. Analyt. Profiles. By hplc (idem, ibid.; E. Papadopoulou-Mourkidou, Anal. Methods Pestic. Plant Growth Regul., 1988, 16, 31; 1984, 13, 121) or by glc (CIPAC Handbook, 1988, D, 100; ibid., 1995, G, 68-70). Residues determined by glc with ECD (ibid.; A. Ambrus et al., J. Assoc. Off. Anal. Chem., 1981, 64, 733; Man. Pestic. Residue Anal., 1987, I, 6, S19; Anal. Methods Residues Pestic., 1988, Part I, M11). Details available from Sumitomo Chemical Co.
