DIMETHRIN cleanup levels by state
- CAS 70-38-2
- 2 states
CAS 70-38-2 is in the cleanup-level tables of 2 states in this handbook: Florida (Dimethrin) and Pennsylvania (DIMETHRIN). Each state's numbers are below as its agency prints them. The states run different programs and do not define their values the same way, so a number from one is not the same measure as a number from another. A state that lists the substance under another CAS number, or without one, is not shown here.
Florida
- FL DEP
- Chapter 62-777 CTLs
- February 2005
For Dimethrin, DEP's cleanup target level tables print 2,100 ug/L as the groundwater criterion, 24,000 mg/kg for residential direct exposure to soil and 2,500 mg/kg for soil leachability based on groundwater.

- 24,000mg/kg 24000 Direct Exposure - Residential Table II: Soil Cleanup Target Levels
- 2,500mg/kg 2500 Leachability Based on Groundwater Table II: Soil Cleanup Target Levels
Pennsylvania
- PA DEP
- Act 2 Statewide Health Standards
For DIMETHRIN, DEP's Statewide Health Standard tables print 36 μg/L for residential groundwater in a used aquifer with TDS up to 2500, 66,000 mg/kg for residential soil direct contact from 0 to 15 feet, and two residential soil to groundwater values for a used aquifer with TDS up to 2500: 3.6 mg/kg as 100 X GW MSC and 240 mg/kg as the generic value.
- 36μg/L R Table 1: Medium-Specific Concentrations (MSCs) for Organic Regulated Substances in Groundwater Used Aquifers, TDS ≤ 2500
- 66,000mg/kg 66000 0-15 feet Table 3a: Medium-Specific Concentrations (MSCs) for Organic Regulated Substances in Soil: A. Direct Contact Numeric Values Residential
- 3.6mg/kg 100 X GW MSC Table 3b: Medium-Specific Concentrations (MSCs) for Organic Regulated Substances in Soil: B. Soil to Groundwater Numeric Values Used Aquifers, TDS ≤ 2500, Residential
- 240mg/kg Generic Value Table 3b: Medium-Specific Concentrations (MSCs) for Organic Regulated Substances in Soil: B. Soil to Groundwater Numeric Values Used Aquifers, TDS ≤ 2500, Residential
Each agency's own publication governs: its current table, or the published rule where the agency says so. This page is a reference copy and not a cleanup decision. Check each agency's page before relying on a value.
