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

Overview

Phorate is an organophosphate insecticide and acaricide used to control a variety of pests in agricultural settings. It is highly toxic and effective at low application rates, making it a common choice for pest management.

Uses

Phorate is primarily used in agriculture to protect crops such as corn, potatoes, and sugar beets from insect pests. It is applied to the soil, where it is taken up by plant roots and provides systemic protection.

Regulatory

Due to its high toxicity, the use of Phorate is strictly regulated. Regulatory agencies such as the EPA in the United States and EFSA in the European Union have established maximum residue limits (MRLs) for Phorate in food products to ensure consumer safety.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of Phorate residues in food and the environment is essential to ensure compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories use high-purity reference materials to calibrate their analytical instruments and validate their testing methods.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Phorate is highly toxic to humans. Exposure can occur through ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact. Symptoms of acute poisoning include headache, dizziness, nausea, and in severe cases, respiratory failure and death.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Phorate is highly toxic to birds, fish, and other wildlife. It can cause significant harm to non-target species and disrupt ecosystems. Its persistence in the environment makes it a concern for long-term ecological health.

Safety Measures

To mitigate the risks associated with Phorate use, it is important to follow safety guidelines such as wearing protective clothing, using proper application techniques, and adhering to recommended application rates. Proper storage and disposal of Phorate are also crucial to prevent accidental exposure.

Regulation

International regulations govern the use and distribution of Phorate. These regulations are designed to protect human health and the environment by limiting the amount of Phorate that can be used and ensuring that it is applied safely.

Analytical Standards

HPC Standards GmbH provides high-purity reference materials for Phorate, ensuring accurate and reliable residue analysis. Our products meet international quality requirements and are essential for laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis to ensure compliance with regulatory limits.
