A matrix solid phase dispersion extraction_dispersed liquid phase microextraction_gas chromatography_mass spectrometric method has been developed for the determination of three pyrethroids ( tetramethrin, permethrin and deltamethrin) in soil. The optimal conditions for the analysis were as follows. About 0. 5 g soil and 1. 5 g C18 solid phase extraction powder were grinding for 5 min. The mixture was eluted with 10 mL of acetone. The eluent was concentrated to 0. 4 mL, and then mixed with 20 μL of tetrachloromethane and 5. 0 mL of ultrapure water to form a homogeneous cloudy solution. The emulsion was broken by centrifugation. About 1 μL of sediment was injected and analyzed directly by GC_MS. Good linearities for three pyrethroids were ranged from 5 to 200 μg/kg (r2≥0. 9989), and recoveries at three spiked levels were ranged from 86 . 5% to 108 . 0% with RSDs less than 7 . 8%. The LODs of three pyrethroids were 1. 00-1. 48 μg/kg. This method can meet the determination of trace pyrethroids in soil.
