High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis

Overview

Hexazinone is an organic compound used as a broad-spectrum herbicide. It is a colorless solid, soluble in water, and highly soluble in most organic solvents except alkanes. Hexazinone belongs to the triazine class of herbicides and is marketed under the trade name Velpar.

Its chemical formula is C₁₂H₂₀N₄O₂, with a molar mass of 252.31 g/mol. It has a melting point of 116°C and a density of 1.25 g/cm³.

Uses

Hexazinone is used to control grasses, broadleaf, and woody plants. In the United States, it is primarily used on alfalfa (33%), forestry (31%), industrial areas (29%), rangeland and pastures (4%), and sugarcane (<2%). It functions by inhibiting photosynthesis, making it a non-selective herbicide.

Regulatory

Hexazinone is registered and regulated by various international and national agencies to ensure its safe use. It was first registered in 1975 for weed control and later for use in crops. Compliance with regulatory limits is essential for laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis.

Monitoring

Hexazinone is a pervasive groundwater contaminant due to its high leaching potential. Continuous monitoring is necessary to prevent environmental contamination and ensure compliance with safety standards.

Health Impact

Exposure to hexazinone can pose health risks. It is rapidly absorbed by the leaves and roots of plants, leading to the inhibition of photosynthesis. Proper handling and usage guidelines must be followed to minimize health risks.

Environmental Impact

Hexazinone poses a significant risk to groundwater due to its high leaching potential. It is primarily degraded by aerobic microorganisms in soils. The degradation rate can vary significantly depending on environmental conditions.

Safety Measure

Proper safety measures should be taken when handling hexazinone. This includes using personal protective equipment (PPE) and following guidelines for safe application and disposal to minimize environmental and health risks.
