Overview

Pentaerythrityltetranitrate (PETN) is a high explosive chemical compound used in both military and civilian applications. It is known for its stability and high detonation velocity. PETN is also utilized in the pharmaceutical industry for its vasodilating properties.

Uses

PETN is primarily used in the manufacture of explosives, including detonating cords and booster charges. It is also used in the medical field for treating angina pectoris due to its ability to dilate blood vessels.

Regulatory

Due to its explosive nature, the production, storage, and transportation of PETN are strictly regulated by national and international bodies. Compliance with these regulations is crucial for safety and legal purposes.

Monitoring

Monitoring the presence of PETN in various environments is essential for safety and regulatory compliance. Laboratories utilize high-purity reference materials to ensure the accuracy and reliability of their analytical methods.

Health Impact

Human toxicity

Exposure to PETN can cause skin irritation, respiratory issues, and other health problems. Proper handling and safety measures are necessary to minimize these risks.

Environmental Impact

Effects on wildlife

PETN can have detrimental effects on wildlife if it contaminates natural habitats. It is important to monitor and control its presence in the environment to protect ecosystems.

Safety Measure

Strict safety protocols must be followed when handling PETN to prevent accidental detonation and exposure. Personal protective equipment (PPE) and proper storage conditions are essential.

Regulation

Regulatory frameworks governing PETN include guidelines from agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Adherence to these regulations ensures safe and compliant operations.

Analytical Standards

High-purity reference materials for PETN are critical for laboratories conducting residue analysis. These materials help ensure the accuracy and reliability of analytical results, supporting compliance with regulatory limits and quality standards.
