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

Overview

Quintozene, also known as pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB), is a fungicide used primarily in agriculture. It is a chlorinated aromatic compound that has been utilized to control soil-borne fungal diseases in crops such as vegetables, cotton, and turf.

Uses

Quintozene is applied to soil to prevent fungal diseases that affect the roots of plants. It is particularly effective against pathogens like Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and Fusarium species.

Regulatory

Regulations concerning Quintozene vary by country. In the EU, its use has been banned due to concerns over its environmental and health impacts. In the United States, its use is restricted and regulated under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).

Monitoring

Monitoring for Quintozene residues is essential to ensure compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories must use high-purity reference materials to achieve accurate and reliable results in residue analysis.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Exposure to Quintozene can lead to various health issues, including skin irritation, respiratory problems, and potential carcinogenic effects. It is classified as a possible human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Quintozene is highly toxic to aquatic organisms and can have detrimental effects on wildlife. Its persistence in the environment can lead to bioaccumulation and long-term ecological harm.

Safety Measures

Proper handling and application of Quintozene are crucial to minimize exposure risks. Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, masks, and protective clothing should be used when handling this chemical.

Regulation

Various international bodies have set limits on the allowable levels of Quintozene residues in food and the environment. Compliance with these regulations is mandatory for ensuring public and environmental safety.

Analytical Standards

High-purity reference materials for Quintozene are essential for laboratories conducting residue analysis. These materials ensure accuracy and reliability in detecting and quantifying Quintozene residues in various matrices.
