High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis.

Overview

Carbon disulfide (CS2) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula CS2. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a pleasant odor in its pure form, but commercial samples often have a foul smell due to impurities. It is used as a building block in organic synthesis and is known for its neurotoxic properties.

Uses

The principal industrial uses of carbon disulfide include the manufacture of viscose rayon and cellophane film, accounting for 75% of its annual production. It is also used in the synthesis of organosulfur compounds such as xanthates and dithiocarbamates, which are used in froth flotation and rubber chemistry. Additionally, carbon disulfide is employed in fumigation and as an insecticide.

Regulatory

Occupational exposure to carbon disulfide is regulated due to its neurotoxic effects. Permissible exposure limits (PEL) and recommended exposure limits (REL) are set by regulatory bodies to ensure worker safety. The World Health Organization (WHO) has guidelines for acceptable levels of carbon disulfide in the environment.

Monitoring

Monitoring of carbon disulfide levels in the workplace and environment is essential to ensure compliance with regulatory limits. Analytical methods and high-purity reference materials are used for accurate measurement and monitoring.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Carbon disulfide exposure can lead to both acute and chronic poisoning, with symptoms including neurological and psychiatric disorders, cardiovascular diseases, reproductive issues, and immune response problems. High concentrations can cause acute psychosis, hallucinations, and other severe symptoms.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Carbon disulfide emissions from industrial sources such as rayon factories can have significant environmental impacts. It is released into the atmosphere and can affect both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Safety Measures

Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and adequate ventilation, are essential to minimize exposure to carbon disulfide in industrial settings. Employers must ensure compliance with safety regulations to protect workers.

Regulation

Regulatory bodies such as OSHA and NIOSH have established exposure limits and guidelines for carbon disulfide to protect worker health and safety. These regulations are based on scientific research and aim to minimize the risks associated with exposure.

Analytical Standards

High-purity reference materials for carbon disulfide are essential for accurate and reliable residue analysis. These materials are used in laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis to ensure compliance with regulatory limits and maintain the highest industrial standards.
