High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis
Azinphos-methyl, also known as Guthion, is a broad-spectrum organophosphate insecticide. It is primarily used in agriculture to control insect pests on crops. The chemical formula for Azinphos-methyl is C10H12N3O3PS2, and it appears as pale, dark orange, translucent crystals.
It was first registered in the US in 1959 and has been used extensively in various formulations. However, due to its high toxicity, its use has been banned or restricted in many countries.
Azinphos-methyl is used as an active ingredient in organophosphate pesticides. It is effective against a wide range of insect pests, making it valuable for protecting crops such as fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
It is not registered for consumer or residential use and is primarily used in agricultural settings.
Azinphos-methyl is classified as an extremely hazardous substance in the United States and is subject to strict reporting requirements. Its use has been banned in the USA since 2013, following a phase-out period. It has also been banned in the European Union since 2006 and in Turkey since 2013.
Regulatory bodies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have cited concerns for farm workers, pesticide applicators, and aquatic ecosystems as reasons for the ban.
Monitoring of Azinphos-methyl residues is essential to ensure compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis rely on high-purity reference materials to achieve accurate and reliable results.
Our reference materials for Azinphos-methyl are tested according to international quality requirements and meet the highest industrial standards.
Azinphos-methyl is a neurotoxin that functions as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, similar to nerve agents. Exposure can occur via inhalation, ingestion, and dermal contact, leading to various health issues.
Symptoms of exposure include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle cramps, and respiratory distress. Chronic exposure can lead to more severe neurological effects.
Azinphos-methyl is highly toxic to aquatic life and can cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. It is also harmful to birds and mammals.
In natural water-rich environments, microorganisms and sunlight can break down Azinphos-methyl, but its half-life is highly variable depending on conditions.
Due to its high toxicity, handling Azinphos-methyl requires stringent safety measures. Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, masks, and protective clothing should be worn when handling the substance.
Proper storage and disposal procedures must be followed to minimize environmental contamination and human exposure.
