High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis in food and environmental samples.
Overview
Octachlorostyrene (OCS) is a chlorinated aromatic compound known for its environmental persistence and potential health impacts. It is commonly used as a reference material in analytical laboratories to ensure precise measurement and compliance with regulatory standards.
Uses
OCS is utilized in the calibration of analytical instruments and validation of analytical methods for detecting residues in various matrices, including food and environmental samples. It is essential for laboratories conducting residue analysis to ensure the accuracy and reliability of their results.
Regulatory
Octachlorostyrene is subject to stringent regulatory controls due to its persistence in the environment and potential health risks. Regulatory agencies have set maximum residue limits (MRLs) for OCS in food and environmental samples to protect public health and the environment.
Monitoring
Regular monitoring of OCS residues in food and the environment is crucial to ensure compliance with regulatory limits. Analytical laboratories use high-purity reference materials like OCS to validate their methods and ensure the accuracy of their monitoring programs.
Health Impact
Human Toxicity
Exposure to octachlorostyrene can lead to various health effects, including potential carcinogenicity, liver damage, and disruption of endocrine functions. It is important to monitor and control OCS residues to minimize human exposure and associated health risks.
Environmental Impact
Effects on Wildlife
OCS is highly persistent in the environment and can accumulate in the tissues of wildlife, leading to adverse effects such as reproductive toxicity and endocrine disruption. Monitoring and controlling OCS residues are essential to protect wildlife and maintain ecological balance.
Safety Measures
Proper handling and disposal of OCS are critical to minimize environmental contamination and human exposure. Laboratories should follow safety protocols and use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when working with OCS reference materials.
Regulation
Various international and national regulatory bodies have established guidelines and limits for OCS residues in food and the environment. Compliance with these regulations is essential for ensuring public health and environmental protection.
Analytical Standards
High-purity reference materials for OCS are essential for the accurate quantification and validation of analytical methods. HPC Standards GmbH provides high-quality OCS reference materials that meet international quality requirements and the highest industrial standards.
