Overview
Cyanazine is a herbicide belonging to the triazine group, known for inhibiting photosynthesis. It is primarily used to control annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in crops such as corn, grain, sorghum, cotton, and wheat fallow. Cyanazine was introduced to the market in 1971 under the names 'Bladex' and 'Fortol' by Shell.
Uses
Cyanazine is used extensively in agriculture to manage weed growth. It is available in various forms including soluble concentrate, flowable concentrate, emulsifiable concentrate, wettable powder, and granular product. The typical application rates range from 0.14 kg/km² to 0.54 kg/km² for preventing weeds and 0.136 kg/km² to 0.23 kg/km² for treating existing weeds.
Regulatory
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has conducted extensive reviews on the health and environmental impacts of cyanazine. In 2002, the European Union disapproved its usage as a herbicide. It is classified as a teratogen and has been listed on the Hazardous Substance List since 1986.
Monitoring
Monitoring cyanazine levels in the environment is crucial due to its potential to contaminate surface and groundwater. Analytical methods are employed to detect cyanazine residues in water and soil to ensure compliance with regulatory limits.
Health Impact
Cyanazine is toxic and can cause acute toxicity, dermatitis, and airway irritation upon exposure. It has been shown to cause birth defects, mutations, and potentially cancer. The World Health Organization (WHO) has set a maximum allowable intake of 0.198 μg/kg body weight due to its toxic effects.
Environmental Impact
Cyanazine is highly toxic to aquatic life and can quickly wash out of soil into surrounding waters, compromising aquatic ecosystems. It degrades faster in soil compared to other herbicides but remains stable under practical conditions of heat, light, and UV irradiation.
Safety Measure
Handling cyanazine requires strict safety measures including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent dermal and inhalation exposure. Proper disposal methods must be followed to avoid environmental contamination.
