Determination of cypermethrin, fenvalerate and cis- and trans-permethrin in soil and groundwater by high-performance liquid chromatography using partial least-squares regression
The partial least-squares (PLS-2) method was applied to the simultaneous determination of the pyrethroids cypermethrin, fenvalerate and cis-trans-permethrin by HPLC. The PLS-2 method was also applied to the resolution of the ternary mixtures of cypermethrin, fenvalerate and trans-permethrin, cis-permethrin being determined from a calibration graph. The results obtained were compared and the best solution was applied to determine the four pyrethroids in soil and groundwater samples
