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

Overview

Dichlofenthion, also known as O-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl) O,O-diethyl phosphorothioate, is an organophosphate insecticide and nematicide used primarily in agricultural settings. It is effective against a broad spectrum of insect pests due to its action as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.

Uses

Dichlofenthion is used for pest control on fruits, vegetables, grains, and ornamental plants. It is also employed in livestock and poultry facilities to control mosquitoes, flies, and other ectoparasites. Additionally, it helps in vector control and residential pest management.

Regulatory

The regulatory status of dichlofenthion varies by country and region. Due to concerns over toxicity and environmental impact, its use has been restricted or banned in some jurisdictions. Regulatory agencies such as the EPA and EFSA assess the safety and approve the use of pesticides like dichlofenthion.

Monitoring

Monitoring dichlofenthion residues is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis rely on high-purity reference materials to achieve accurate and reliable results.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Dichlofenthion inhibits acetylcholinesterase, leading to the accumulation of acetylcholine and continuous stimulation of nerves, muscles, and glands. Symptoms of poisoning include salivation, lacrimation, urination, defecation, gastrointestinal cramps, and respiratory failure.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Dichlofenthion can be toxic to non-target organisms, including fish and aquatic invertebrates. Its persistence in the environment can pose risks to wildlife and contaminate water sources.

Safety Measures

Proper handling and application practices are essential to minimize the risks of exposure to dichlofenthion. Personal protective equipment (PPE) and adherence to safety guidelines are recommended.
