Abstract
Resmethrin, phenothrin, and fenvalerate are the synthetic pyrethroids that have been used widely against groundling or flying insect pests both indoors and outdoors. In this study, the heterogeneous reactions of the three pyrethroid particles with NO(3) radicals are investigated with a mixed-phase relative rate method. The reactions are performed in a reaction chamber equipped with a vacuum ultraviolet photoionization aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometer (VUV-ATOFMS) and an atmospheric gas analysis mass spectrometer. The uptake coefficients of NO(3) radicals on resmethrin, phenothrin, and fenvalerate particles are ~0.20, 0.04, and 0.03 respectively, calculated with a spherical shell model. And the atmospheric lifetimes of the three pyrethroid particles toward NO(3) radicals are estimated to be ~2.6, 7.5, and 9.3 h, respectively. The molecular structures of reaction products and the reaction pathways are suggested based on the measurements of VUV-ATOFMS and off-line GC-MS.Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
