High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis
Ethion is an organophosphate insecticide with the IUPAC name O,O,O′,O′-Tetraethyl S,S′-methylene bis(phosphorodithioate). It is a colorless to amber-colored, odorless liquid with a chemical formula of C9H22O4P2S4 and a molar mass of 384.48 g/mol. Ethion is known to inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, affecting neural functions.
Ethion is primarily used as an insecticide in agricultural settings. It has been employed to control a variety of pests on crops such as fruits, vegetables, and cotton. Its usage has varied over the years due to changes in crop values and weather conditions.
Ethion was first registered in the US in the 1950s. Due to concerns over its safety, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended its reanalysis in 1982. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has conducted risk assessments for Ethion, presenting findings in 1999.
Monitoring of Ethion residues is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis rely on high-purity reference materials to achieve accurate and reliable results.
Exposure to Ethion can occur through ingestion, skin absorption, and inhalation. Symptoms of exposure include vomiting, diarrhea, headache, sweating, and confusion. Severe poisoning can lead to respiratory failure or cardiac arrest. Ethion is known to inhibit cholinesterase, leading to neurological effects.
Ethion is persistent in the environment and can accumulate in plants and animals. It is highly toxic to aquatic organisms and moderately toxic to birds. Its persistence raises concerns about long-term environmental contamination.
Handling Ethion requires strict safety measures. Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be worn to prevent skin and eye contact. In case of exposure, immediate decontamination and medical attention are necessary. For ingestion, gastric lavage and activated charcoal may be used to reduce absorption.
HPC Standards GmbH provides high-purity reference materials for Ethion, 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.
