Abstract: A method is described for determining and screening 5 pyrethroid pesticides in 48 kinds of traditional Chinese medicines, each as 10 batches,
by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) with negative chemical ionization (NCI). The method had been tested for 5 pesticides in
6 traditional Chinese medicinal plants with limits of detection (LODs) from 0.5ppb to 5ppb. The recoveries of the 5 pesticides in the 6 plants
ranged from 70% to 120% with relative standard deviations < 10% . The method is rapid, sensitive and suitable for the analysis of large
numbers of samples at the same time.

Key words: pyrethroid pesticides, GC-MS, negative chemical ionization, Traditional Chinese Medicine
