High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis

Overview

Coumaphos is a nonvolatile, fat-soluble phosphorothioate with ectoparasiticide properties. It is widely used to control insects and mites on farm and domestic animals. Coumaphos is known by various brand names including Meldane, Asuntol, and Baymix.

Uses

Coumaphos is primarily used as a dip or wash on livestock to control ticks, mites, flies, and fleas. It is also employed in the management of Varroa mites in honey bee colonies, although its use is declining due to resistance development and residual toxicity concerns.

Regulatory

In the United States, Coumaphos is classified as an extremely hazardous substance under Section 302 of the U.S. Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. It is subject to stringent reporting requirements for facilities that produce, store, or use it in significant quantities.

In Australia, its registration for home veterinary use was canceled in June 2004 by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority due to safety concerns.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of Coumaphos 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.

Health Impact

Coumaphos has been linked to neurological problems in bees and may contribute to colony collapse disorder. Its use in honey bee colonies is increasingly scrutinized due to these adverse effects.

Environmental Impact

Coumaphos residues can persist in the environment, posing risks to non-target species including beneficial insects like bees. Its environmental impact necessitates careful management and monitoring to mitigate potential harm.

Safety Measure

Handling Coumaphos requires strict adherence to safety protocols to prevent exposure. Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and masks should be used, and facilities must implement proper storage and disposal practices.
