Bifenthrin is a pyrethroid insecticide widely used for controlling ant infestations and other pests. It is essential for laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis to ensure compliance with regulatory limits.

Overview

Bifenthrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide with the chemical formula C₂₃H₂₂ClF₃O₂. It is characterized by its low solubility in water and long residual time in soil. Bifenthrin is available in various forms, including powder, granules, and pellets.

Uses

Bifenthrin is used extensively in agriculture, homes, and the textile industry. It is effective against a wide range of pests, including ants, aphids, beetles, and mosquitoes. In agriculture, it is commonly applied to crops like corn, hops, and raspberries.

Regulatory

The EPA classifies bifenthrin as a restricted-use pesticide due to its high toxicity to aquatic organisms. It is approved for use against specific pests under regulated conditions. In the European Union, bifenthrin is banned for agricultural use but is still approved for preserving chopped wood.

Monitoring

Monitoring bifenthrin levels in the environment is crucial due to its persistence in soil and potential runoff into surface water. Laboratories use high-purity reference materials to ensure accurate residue analysis and compliance with regulatory standards.

Health Impact

Bifenthrin has low toxicity to mammals but can cause neurotoxic effects at high exposure levels. Symptoms of excessive exposure include nausea, headaches, and skin irritation. The EPA has classified bifenthrin as a possible human carcinogen based on animal studies.

Environmental Impact

Bifenthrin is highly toxic to aquatic life, particularly fish and invertebrates. It tends to remain in soil and sediment, posing a risk to aquatic ecosystems through runoff. Its impact on bees includes reduced fecundity and developmental delays at sublethal concentrations.

Safety Measure

Proper handling and application of bifenthrin are essential to minimize environmental and health risks. Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be used during application, and measures should be taken to prevent runoff into water bodies.
