High-Purity Reference Materials for Accurate Residue Analysis

Overview

Paraquat dichloride is a widely used herbicide known for its effectiveness in controlling a broad spectrum of weeds. It is a non-selective contact herbicide, meaning it kills plant tissues on contact and is commonly used in agriculture to manage weed growth.

Uses

Paraquat dichloride is primarily used in agricultural settings for weed control in crops such as soybeans, corn, and cotton. It is also used in non-agricultural settings like industrial sites and along railways to manage vegetation.

Regulatory

The use of paraquat dichloride is heavily regulated due to its high toxicity. Various countries have established strict guidelines for its application, handling, and disposal to minimize human and environmental risks.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of paraquat residues in food and environmental samples is essential to ensure compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories utilize high-purity reference materials to achieve accurate and reliable results in residue analysis.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Paraquat dichloride is highly toxic to humans if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Exposure can lead to severe health issues, including respiratory distress, kidney failure, and even death. Proper safety measures must be taken when handling this substance.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Paraquat dichloride can have detrimental effects on wildlife, particularly aquatic organisms and birds. It is essential to manage its application carefully to prevent contamination of water bodies and ecosystems.

Safety Measures

Strict safety protocols must be followed when handling paraquat dichloride. Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, masks, and protective clothing is mandatory. Additionally, proper storage and disposal practices are crucial to avoid accidental exposure and environmental contamination.
