POTW Pyrethroid Survey Results: Data Review and Summary Yuzhou Luo CDPR/EM/SWPP

Overview 32 POTW facilities throughout California (one primary treatment, 18 secondary, 12 tertiary, one unknown) One sampling event for each POTW in early 2013 8 pyrethroids (bifenthrin, cyfluthrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, esfenvalerate, fenpropathrin, λ-cyhalothrin, permethrin) Reported data: whole-water concentrations in influent and effluent; concentration in biosolids Samples are not timed between influent, effluent, and biosolids collection
