High-purity Dinitrophenol (DNP) reference materials for accurate residue analysis in food and environmental samples.

Overview

Dinitrophenol (DNP) is a chemical compound that has been used in various industrial applications. It is known for its role in weight loss treatments, though it is highly toxic and not approved for such use.

Uses

DNP is utilized in the manufacture of dyes, wood preservatives, and as a pesticide. It has also been used in biochemical research to uncouple oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria.

Regulatory

Due to its high toxicity, the use of DNP is strictly regulated. It is not approved for human consumption or use in weight loss products. Regulatory agencies monitor its presence in the environment and food products to ensure safety.

Monitoring

Monitoring of DNP residues is essential for compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories use high-purity reference materials to ensure accurate detection and quantification of DNP in various samples.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

DNP is highly toxic to humans. Exposure can lead to symptoms such as hyperthermia, tachycardia, diaphoresis, and in severe cases, death. It interferes with cellular energy production, leading to dangerous increases in body temperature.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

DNP can have detrimental effects on wildlife, particularly aquatic organisms. It can cause toxicity in fish and other aquatic species, leading to disruptions in ecosystems.

Safety Measures

Proper safety measures must be taken when handling DNP. This includes the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), proper ventilation, and adherence to safety protocols to prevent exposure.

Regulation

DNP is regulated under various international and national guidelines. These regulations aim to control its use, prevent illegal distribution, and protect public health and the environment.

Analytical Standards

High-purity DNP reference materials are essential for laboratories conducting residue analysis. These materials are tested according to international quality requirements and meet the highest industrial standards, ensuring accurate and reliable analysis.
