We investigated the magnitude and distribution of pyrethroid and organophosphate pesticide loadings within public housing dwellings in Boston, Massachusetts and compared the results using various sampling methods. We collected dust matrices from living room and kitchen in 42 apartments and analyzed for eleven pyrethoids (e.g., permethrin and cyfluthrin) and two organophosphates (chlorpyrifos and diazinon) in house dust using GC/MS. Agreement between sampling methods were evaluated using Spearman correlations and Kappa statistics. Permethrin and chlorpyrifos were detected in kitchen floor wipes in all homes, followed in frequency of detects by diazinon (98%), cypermethrin (90%) and cyfluthrin (71%). At least six pesticides were detected in kitchen floor wipes in the majority of the homes (range 3-8). Positive and statistically significant correlations among dust matrices were observed between kitchen floor wipes and living room vacuum dust, including for diazinon (r=0.62) and cyfluthrin (r=0.69). Detection of several pesticides including banned or restricted use products in some public housing units, underscore the need for alternative pest management strategies that embrace the safe and judicious use of pest control products.
我们调查了马萨诸塞州波士顿公共住房内拟除虫菊酯和有机磷农药的含量及分布情况，并使用各种采样方法对结果进行了比较。我们从42套公寓的客厅和厨房收集了灰尘样本，并用气相色谱/质谱联用仪（GC/MS）分析了室内灰尘中的11种拟除虫菊酯（如氯菊酯和氟氯氰菊酯）和2种有机磷（毒死蜱和二嗪农）。使用斯皮尔曼相关性和卡帕统计量评估采样方法之间的一致性。所有家庭的厨房地板擦拭样本中均检测出氯菊酯和毒死蜱，其次是二嗪农（98%）、氯氰菊酯（90%）和氟氯氰菊酯（71%）。大多数家庭的厨房地板擦拭样本中至少检测出六种农药（范围为3 - 8种）。在厨房地板擦拭样本和客厅真空吸尘灰尘之间观察到灰尘样本之间存在正相关且具有统计学意义，包括二嗪农（r = 0.62）和氟氯氰菊酯（r = 0.69）。在一些公共住房单元中检测到几种农药，包括已被禁止或限制使用的产品，这突出表明需要采用替代害虫管理策略，包括安全、明智地使用害虫防治产品。
