High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis

Overview

Methidathion is an organophosphate insecticide known for its effectiveness in controlling a variety of pests. It is chemically identified as S-[(5-Methoxy-2-oxo-1,3,4-thiadiazol-3(2H)-yl)methyl] O,O-dimethyl phosphorodithioate. Despite its efficacy, its use is banned in the European Union and the USA due to safety concerns.

Uses

Methidathion has been widely used in agriculture to control caterpillars and other pests. It is particularly effective against the bark-eating caterpillar Indarbela quadrinotata. However, its application is highly regulated or banned in many regions due to its potential risks.

Regulatory

The use of Methidathion is banned in the European Union and the USA. Regulatory bodies in these regions have determined that the risks associated with its use outweigh the benefits. Laboratories must ensure compliance with these regulations when conducting residue analysis.

Monitoring

Monitoring Methidathion residues is crucial for ensuring food and environmental safety. Residue analysis helps in maintaining compliance with regulatory limits and protecting public health. High-purity reference materials are essential for accurate and reliable monitoring.

Health Impact

Methidathion is a potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, which can lead to severe neurotoxic effects in humans and animals. Exposure to Methidathion can cause symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, and in severe cases, respiratory failure.

Environmental Impact

Methidathion is highly toxic to aquatic life and can persist in the environment, leading to long-term ecological damage. Its use can result in contamination of water bodies and soil, affecting non-target organisms and biodiversity.

Safety Measure

Handling Methidathion requires stringent safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and adherence to safety protocols. Laboratories must ensure proper storage, handling, and disposal to minimize risks.

Analytical Standards

HPC Standards GmbH provides high-purity reference materials for Methidathion, ensuring accurate and reliable residue analysis.
