High-purity resmethrin reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis in food and environmental samples.

Overview

Resmethrin is a pyrethroid insecticide used primarily for controlling adult mosquito populations. The molecule has four stereoisomers determined by cis-trans orientation and chirality. Technical resmethrin is a mixture of these isomers, with the (1R,trans)- isomer showing the strongest insecticidal activity.

Uses

Resmethrin is widely used in public health and agricultural settings to control insect pests. It is found in products such as Raid Flying Insect Killer, Scourge, and Vectrin.

Regulatory

Resmethrin is regulated by various international bodies to ensure it meets safety and efficacy standards. In the U.S., certain isomers like bioresmethrin and cismethrin are not registered as separate active ingredients by the EPA.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of resmethrin levels in food and environmental samples is essential for compliance with regulatory limits. High-purity reference materials are used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of analytical methods.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Resmethrin can be harmful if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. It is classified with hazard statements H302 (harmful if swallowed) and H410 (very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects).

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Resmethrin is highly toxic to aquatic organisms and can have long-lasting effects on aquatic ecosystems. It is crucial to manage its use carefully to minimize environmental impact.

Safety Measures

Proper safety measures should be followed when handling resmethrin. This includes using personal protective equipment and adhering to precautionary statements such as P264 (wash hands thoroughly after handling) and P273 (avoid release to the environment).

Analytical Standards

HPC Standards GmbH provides high-purity resmethrin reference materials that meet international quality requirements. These materials are essential for laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis to ensure compliance with regulatory limits.
