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

Overview

Dieldrin is an organochlorine compound originally produced in 1948 as an insecticide. It is closely related to aldrin, which converts to dieldrin in the environment. Dieldrin is known for its persistence and bioaccumulation in the food chain.

Uses

Dieldrin was widely used in agriculture to control soil pests such as termites, root maggots, mole crickets, and weevils. It was applied to crops like corn and potatoes and used as an insecticide on fruit, soil, and seeds.

Regulatory

Dieldrin has been banned or restricted in many countries due to its persistence and toxicity. It is listed under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and is prohibited for use in agriculture in several countries. Its use is highly regulated to prevent environmental contamination and human exposure.

Monitoring

Monitoring dieldrin levels in food and the environment is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories use high-purity reference materials to accurately measure dieldrin residues and ensure that they meet safety standards.

Health Impact

Long-term exposure to dieldrin has been linked to various health issues, including Parkinson's disease, breast cancer, and damage to the immune, reproductive, and nervous systems. It is also an endocrine disruptor and has been associated with adverse effects on fetal development.

Environmental Impact

Dieldrin is a persistent organic pollutant that does not easily break down in the environment. It tends to biomagnify in the food chain, affecting a wide range of wildlife. Its persistence and bioaccumulation have led to widespread environmental contamination.

Safety Measures

Due to its toxicity, handling dieldrin requires strict safety measures. Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be used to prevent skin contact and inhalation. Proper disposal methods must be followed to avoid environmental contamination.

Analytical Standards

HPC Standards GmbH provides high-purity reference materials for dieldrin, ensuring accurate and reliable residue analysis. Our products are tested according to international quality requirements and meet the highest industrial standards. These reference materials are essential for laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis to ensure compliance with regulatory limits.
