| Abstract: | In the present study, solid-phase microextraction in photochemical studies was used to investigate UV light induced photodegradation
of five pyrethroids (empenthrin, transfluthrin, allethrin, phenothrin and cyphenothrin) and a synergist (piperonyl butoxide),
which are common ingredients of household insecticides. Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry was used to separate
and tentatively identify the parent compounds and their corresponding photoproducts generated in the same polydimethylsiloxane
fibre. Kinetics curves were obtained and apparent first-order rate constants and half-lives were estimated. Twenty-six photoproducts
were tentatively identified and photodegradation pathways for the compounds investigated were proposed. It is a matter of
some concern that three of the photoproducts identified (3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid, 3-phenoxybenzaldehyde
and (3-phenoxyphenyl)methanol] have been reported to be endocrine disruptors. There is no record of previous studies of cyphenothrin
and empenthrin photodegradation, and therefore the present study represents the first attempt to elucidate the photochemical
behaviour of these compounds.
