High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis of Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH).

Overview

Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) is a group of chemical compounds that includes several isomers, such as alpha-HCH, beta-HCH, gamma-HCH (lindane), and delta-HCH. These compounds are primarily used as pesticides and have significant implications for environmental and food safety.

Uses

HCH isomers have been widely used in agriculture for pest control. Gamma-HCH, also known as lindane, has been used in pharmaceuticals for the treatment of lice and scabies. However, due to their persistence and bioaccumulation, the use of HCH isomers has been restricted or banned in many countries.

Regulatory

HCH isomers are subject to strict regulatory controls due to their potential health and environmental impacts. Various international bodies, such as the European Union and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), have set maximum residue limits (MRLs) for HCH in food and the environment to ensure safety and compliance.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of HCH residues in food and environmental samples is crucial for compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories conducting such analyses require high-purity reference materials to ensure the accuracy and reliability of their results.

Health Impact

Exposure to HCH isomers can have significant health impacts, including neurotoxicity, endocrine disruption, and potential carcinogenic effects. Chronic exposure, even at low levels, can lead to serious health issues, making accurate residue analysis essential for public health protection.

Environmental Impact

HCH isomers are persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that can remain in the environment for extended periods. They can bioaccumulate in the food chain, posing risks to wildlife and ecosystems. Effective monitoring and regulation are essential to mitigate these environmental impacts.

Safety Measure

Handling HCH requires stringent safety measures to prevent exposure. Laboratories must follow proper protocols, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and appropriate waste disposal methods, to ensure the safety of personnel and the environment.

Analytical Standards

HPC Standards GmbH provides high-purity reference materials for HCH isomers, ensuring accurate and reliable residue analysis. Our products are tested according to international quality requirements and meet the highest industrial standards.
