High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis

Overview

Diuron, also known as N'-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)-N,N-dimethylurea, is a white crystalline solid with the chemical formula C₉H₁₀Cl₂N₂O. It is a herbicide and algicide of the aryl urea class that inhibits photosynthesis by blocking the QB plastoquinone binding site of photosystem II.

Uses

Diuron is primarily used as a herbicide to control a wide variety of annual and perennial broadleaf and grassy weeds. It is also used as an algicide in aquatic environments and as a pre-emergent herbicide in agricultural settings.

Regulatory

Diuron is regulated under various international guidelines to ensure its safe use. It is classified as a known/likely human carcinogen based on animal testing. Regulatory limits are established to control its residue levels in food and the environment.

Monitoring

Monitoring of Diuron residues is essential for compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis rely on high-purity reference materials to ensure accurate and reliable results.

Health Impact

Diuron has been characterized as a potential human carcinogen. Exposure to Diuron can cause adverse health effects, including toxicity to the liver and kidneys. It is important to handle Diuron with care and follow safety guidelines to minimize exposure.

Environmental Impact

Diuron is persistent in the environment and can have detrimental effects on non-target plants and aquatic organisms. It inhibits photosynthesis, which can lead to the disruption of aquatic ecosystems. Proper management and application practices are necessary to mitigate its environmental impact.

Safety Measure

When handling Diuron, it is important to follow safety measures such as wearing protective clothing, gloves, and eye protection. Ensure proper ventilation and avoid inhalation or ingestion. In case of accidental exposure, seek medical attention immediately.
