High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis

Overview

Formothion, with the chemical formula C6H12NO4PS2, is an organophosphate compound historically used as an acaricide and insecticide. It is known for its effectiveness in pest control but has seen reduced usage due to regulatory changes and health concerns.

Uses

Formothion was primarily utilized in agricultural settings to control mites and insects. Its application extended to various crops, ensuring protection from pest-related damages. However, its use has become obsolete in many regions due to safer and more effective alternatives.

Regulatory

Formothion is classified under several regulatory frameworks. In Australia, it is listed as a Schedule 6 poison, indicating its potential hazards. Regulatory bodies have imposed strict limits and guidelines on its use to mitigate risks to human health and the environment.

Monitoring

Monitoring the presence of Formothion residues in food and the environment is crucial for compliance with safety standards. Laboratories employ high-purity reference materials to ensure accurate and reliable residue analysis, maintaining adherence to regulatory limits.

Health Impact

Exposure to Formothion can pose significant health risks, including neurotoxicity due to its acetylcholinesterase inhibiting properties. Symptoms of exposure may include headaches, dizziness, nausea, and in severe cases, respiratory distress and convulsions.

Environmental Impact

Formothion's persistence in the environment can lead to contamination of soil and water bodies, adversely affecting non-target organisms, including beneficial insects, aquatic life, and wildlife. Its environmental impact necessitates careful management and monitoring.

Safety Measure

Handling Formothion requires stringent safety measures to prevent exposure. Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, masks, and protective clothing should be used. Proper storage and disposal practices are essential to minimize environmental contamination and human exposure.

Analytical Standards

HPC Standards GmbH provides high-purity reference materials for Formothion, ensuring laboratories can conduct precise residue analysis. Our products meet international quality requirements and the highest industrial standards, supporting food and environmental safety compliance.
