Reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic determination of Baygon in water

A simple analytical procedure for determination of Baygon in water is described. The Baygon residues are extracted on a C18 SEP-PAK cartridge and subsequently analyzed by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography using ultraviolet detection at 272 nm. Water samples spiked with Baygon are found to give greater than 90 percent recoveries. Concentration levels as low as 20 ppb can be easily detected by this method.
