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

Overview

Pyrethrins are a class of organic compounds derived from Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium known for their potent insecticidal properties. They target the nervous systems of insects and are considered organic insecticides when not combined with synthetic adjuvants such as piperonyl butoxide.

These compounds have been used for thousands of years and are gradually replacing organophosphates and organochlorides due to their lower toxicity to humans.

Uses

Pyrethrins are primarily used as insecticides in products like bug bombs, building insect sprays, and animal sprays. They are effective against various pests, including mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, ants, spiders, and lice.

At lower concentrations, pyrethrins also function as insect repellents.

Regulatory

Pyrethrins meet international quality requirements and the highest industrial standards, ensuring compliance with regulatory limits for residue analysis in food and environmental samples.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of pyrethrin residues is crucial for laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis to ensure compliance with regulatory limits.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Pyrethrins are considered low-toxicity chemicals due to their rapid degradation in the environment. However, exposure can cause allergic reactions, respiratory issues, and, in rare cases, severe health effects.

Chronic toxicity in humans occurs primarily through inhalation or skin absorption, leading to symptoms like itching, burning sensations, and, in severe cases, respiratory failure and seizures.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Pyrethrins are highly toxic to aquatic life, particularly fish and invertebrates, due to their inability to metabolize these compounds. They can accumulate in aquatic sediments, posing long-term risks.

Bees are also sensitive to pyrethrins, with fatal doses as small as 0.02 micrograms.

Safety Measures

To minimize environmental impact, pyrethrins should be applied at night to avoid pollinating hours and in liquid form rather than dust. The EPA recommends alternative methods or chemicals to reduce harm to aquatic environments.

Regulation

The EPA has introduced labeling initiatives to reduce runoff into water bodies and updated language for agricultural use to mitigate environmental risks.
