High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis of Naled.

Overview

Naled (IUPAC name: Dimethyl-1,2-dibromo-2,2-dichlorethyl phosphate) is an organophosphate insecticide. It is known by other names such as Dibrom and 1,2-Dibromo-2,2-dichloroethyl dimethyl phosphate.

It is a colorless to white solid or straw-colored liquid with a chemical formula of C₄H₇O₄PBr₂Cl₂ and a molar mass of 380.8 g/mol. Naled is used primarily to control adult mosquitoes and is also registered for use against black flies and leaf-eating insects on various crops.

Uses

Naled is extensively used in mosquito control programs, especially in the United States, where it accounts for approximately 70% of its usage. The remaining 30% is used in agricultural settings to protect fruits, vegetables, and nuts. It has also been used in veterinary medicine to eliminate parasitic worms in dogs.

Historically, Naled has been applied in various emergency situations, such as post-hurricane mosquito control efforts in New Orleans and North Carolina, as well as in Puerto Rico to combat dengue fever.

Regulatory

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has evaluated exposure levels from crops treated with Naled and found them to be below levels of concern. However, Naled is prohibited for use as an insecticide within the European Union due to its toxicity concerns.

Monitoring

Laboratories conducting residue analysis of Naled must ensure compliance with regulatory limits. Regular monitoring and testing are essential to ensure that residue levels remain within permissible limits to protect public health and the environment.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Exposure to high levels of Naled can inhibit cholinesterase in humans, leading to overstimulation of the nervous system. Symptoms may include nausea, dizziness, confusion, and in severe cases, respiratory paralysis and death. Chronic exposure to its metabolite, dichlorvos, has been linked to neurological issues such as Parkinson's disease and neurodevelopmental problems.

Persons working closely with Naled should undergo regular testing of their cholinesterase levels to monitor for potential health risks.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Naled is highly toxic to bees and moderately to highly toxic to birds and most aquatic life. It is also toxic to butterflies at the amounts typically used for mosquito control. Due to these environmental concerns, Naled is banned in the European Union.

Safety Measures

Proper storage and handling of Naled are crucial. It should be stored in anhydrous conditions, away from light, and under normal pressure and temperatures. Contact with water, alkali, acids, metals, reducing agents, or sulfhydryls should be avoided to prevent degradation and release of toxic fumes.
