High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis
Overview
Dichlorvos, also known as 2,2-Dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate or DDVP, is an organophosphate widely used as an insecticide. It has been commercially available since 1961 and is known for its effectiveness against a variety of pests.
Uses
Dichlorvos is used to control household pests, protect stored products, and in public health applications. It is effective against mushroom flies, aphids, spider mites, caterpillars, thrips, and whiteflies in greenhouses and outdoor crops. It is also used in the milling and grain handling industries and to treat parasitic worm infections in animals and humans.
Regulatory
The use of Dichlorvos has been restricted in many regions due to its toxicity. In the EU, it has not been used as a plant protection product since 1988. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reviewed its safety data multiple times, leading to voluntary restrictions and cancellations of certain uses.
Monitoring
Monitoring of Dichlorvos involves checking its presence in air, water, and soil, especially in urban waterways where it is prevalent. Laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis use high-purity reference materials to ensure compliance with regulatory limits.
Health Impact
Dichlorvos is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, which affects the nervous system. Symptoms of exposure include weakness, headache, tightness in chest, blurred vision, salivation, sweating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, eye and skin irritation, and more severe effects like convulsions and cardiac arrhythmias.
Environmental Impact
Dichlorvos enters the environment through its use and manufacturing processes. It is soluble in water and can evaporate into the air, where it is broken down by water vapor. It does not bind to soil but is broken down more slowly in soil than in air. The breakdown products are less harmful than Dichlorvos itself.
Safety Measure
Exposure to Dichlorvos can occur through inhalation, skin absorption, ingestion, and eye contact. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set a permissible exposure limit of 1 mg/m³ over an 8-hour workday. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends the same exposure limit and considers levels of 100 mg/m³ as immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH).
