Pyrethrum as well as synthetic pyrethroids like allethrin, resmethrin, phenothrin, tetramethrin, cyfluthrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin or permethrin are among the insecticides most often used worldwide. With a sensitive and valid gas-chromatographic-high resolution mass spectrometric method, it is possible to detect all
