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

Overview

Tefluthrin is a synthetic pyrethroid used as an insecticide. It is known for its effectiveness against soil pests and its ability to move as a vapor without irreversibly binding to soil particles. This characteristic distinguishes it from most other pyrethroids.

Uses

Tefluthrin is primarily used in agriculture to control soil-dwelling insects in crops such as maize. It is available in formulated products and can also be incorporated into seed treatments. Its main targets include larvae of corn rootworms, cutworms, and wireworms.

Regulatory

All pesticides, including Tefluthrin, must be registered with appropriate authorities in the countries where they are used. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates its use under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA). In the European Union, a two-tiered approach is used for approval and authorization.

Monitoring

Regulatory bodies monitor the use of Tefluthrin to ensure compliance with safety standards. In the US, the estimated annual use of Tefluthrin in agriculture is tracked by the US Geological Survey. Monitoring programs ensure that pesticide residues in food are below the limits set by the European Food Safety Authority.

Health Impact

Tefluthrin is a restricted-use pesticide due to its potential health impacts. It can be absorbed through inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact, causing moderate eye irritation and allergic reactions in some individuals. Prolonged skin contact may result in a transient sensation described as tingling, itching, or burning.

Environmental Impact

Tefluthrin is highly toxic to freshwater and estuarine fish and invertebrates. Its relatively high volatility allows its vapor to move from the application site to surrounding soil, making it effective against soil pests but also posing environmental risks.

Safety Measure

Users must follow label instructions to minimize risks to human health and the environment. The label includes first aid measures and specifies the conditions under which Tefluthrin may be used. Failure to follow these instructions is a federal offense in the US.
