This method describes the sample collection and analysis of pyrethrum. Samples are collected by drawing known volumes of air through OSHA Versatile Sampler tubes containing a glass fiber filter and two sections of XAD-2 adsorbent (OVS-2) tubes. The OVS-2 is a specially prepared glass tube containing a glass fiber filter and XAD-2 resin which will collect both vapors and aerosols. Samples are extracted/desorbed with toluene and analyzed by GC using an electron capture detector.
