Disulfoton is a highly toxic organophosphate insecticide used primarily in agriculture. Our high-purity reference materials ensure accurate residue analysis for compliance with regulatory limits.

Overview

Disulfoton (O,O′-Diethyl S-[2-(ethylsulfanyl)ethyl] phosphorodithioate) is an organophosphate acetylcholinesterase inhibitor used as an insecticide. It is manufactured under the name Di-Syston by Bayer CropScience. Disulfoton is a colorless to yellow oily liquid with a characteristic sulfurous odor.

Uses

Disulfoton is used in vegetable fields, where it is processed into granules mixed with fertilizer and clay. These granules are made into spikes that are driven into the ground, allowing the pesticide to be absorbed by plant roots and translocated to all parts of the plant, providing long-lasting control.

Regulatory

The use of Disulfoton has been restricted by the US government. Bayer, the manufacturer, exited the US market on December 31, 2009. It is classified as a super toxic substance with severe restrictions on its use.

Monitoring

Monitoring for Disulfoton residues in food and the environment is crucial for compliance with safety standards. Our high-purity reference materials support accurate and reliable residue analysis.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Disulfoton is highly toxic to humans, with an estimated oral lethal dose of less than 5 mg/kg. It can be absorbed via ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact, leading to severe symptoms such as headaches, nausea, vomiting, and respiratory failure.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Disulfoton is very toxic to aquatic life and poses an acute hazard with long-lasting effects. It inhibits esterase enzyme activity in both mammals and insects, impairing nerve impulse transmission.

Safety Measures

Handling Disulfoton requires stringent safety measures due to its high toxicity. Precautionary statements include avoiding contact with skin and eyes, using protective equipment, and proper disposal of contaminated materials.

Regulation

Disulfoton is subject to strict regulations due to its high toxicity. It is classified under GHS labelling with hazard statements H300, H310, and H410, indicating it is fatal if swallowed, in contact with skin, and very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects.

Analytical Standards

Our high-purity reference materials for Disulfoton are essential for laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis. These materials ensure accurate and reliable residue analysis, helping to meet international quality requirements and regulatory limits.
