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

Overview

Nitrofen, also known as 2,4-Dichloro-1-(4-nitrophenoxy)benzene, is an herbicide belonging to the diphenyl ether class. It is a colorless, crystalline solid with a chemical formula of C₁₂H₇Cl₂NO₃ and a molar mass of 284.09 g/mol.

Due to its carcinogenic properties, Nitrofen has been banned in the European Union and the United States since 1996.

Uses

Nitrofen was primarily used as an herbicide to control broadleaf weeds and grasses in various crops. It has been replaced by other herbicides such as acifluorfen and fomesafen.

Regulatory

Nitrofen is classified as an IARC Group 2B carcinogen, indicating it is possibly carcinogenic to humans. Its use has been banned in the European Union and the United States due to health concerns.

Monitoring

Monitoring for Nitrofen residues is essential in food and environmental analysis to ensure compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories utilize high-purity reference materials to achieve accurate and reliable results.

Health Impact

Nitrofen is a possible human carcinogen. Exposure to Nitrofen can pose significant health risks, including potential carcinogenic effects.

Environmental Impact

Nitrofen contamination can adversely affect the environment. It has low solubility in water (0.7-1.2 mg/L at 22°C) but can persist in soil and water, leading to long-term environmental concerns.

Safety Measure

Proper safety measures should be taken when handling Nitrofen. Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and masks should be used to minimize exposure. Disposal of Nitrofen should comply with local regulations to prevent environmental contamination.
