High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis
Endrin is an organochlorine compound with the chemical formula C12H8Cl6O. It was first produced in 1950 and used primarily as an insecticide, rodenticide, and piscicide. Endrin is a colorless, odorless solid, although commercial samples are often off-white. Due to its persistence in the environment and toxic effects, it has been banned in many countries.
Endrin was used as an agricultural insecticide on crops such as tobacco, apple trees, cotton, sugar cane, rice, and grains. It was effective against pests like cotton bollworms, corn borers, cutworms, and grasshoppers. Additionally, it was employed as a rodenticide and avicide, and in fish farms as a piscicide to clear ponds before restocking.
Endrin has been banned or severely restricted in many countries due to its toxicity and persistence in the environment. In the United States, its use was cancelled by 1991. The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants lists endrin as one of the initial 12 POPs, requiring measures to eliminate or restrict its production.
Endrin can be monitored using various analytical methods, including gas chromatography with electron capture detection (GC-ECD). OSHA provides specific sampling and analytical methods for workplace monitoring.
Exposure to endrin can occur through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. It acts as a neurotoxin, affecting the central nervous system and causing symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, convulsions, and seizures. Chronic exposure can lead to liver and kidney damage, and developmental abnormalities in fetuses and infants.
Endrin is highly toxic to aquatic organisms, including fish and invertebrates. It persists in the environment, particularly in sediments, and can bioaccumulate in the fatty tissues of organisms. Its persistence and bioaccumulation potential make it a significant environmental pollutant.
Due to its high toxicity, handling endrin requires stringent safety measures. Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, masks, and protective clothing should be used. In case of exposure, immediate medical attention is necessary.
HPC Standards GmbH provides high-purity reference materials for endrin, 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.
