High-purity reference materials for Terbufos, ensuring accurate and reliable residue analysis.
Terbufos is a chemical compound used in insecticides and nematicides. It belongs to the organophosphate family and is a clear, colorless to pale yellow or reddish-brown liquid. Commercially, it is available as granules for agricultural applications.
Terbufos is known by several names, including Counter, Contraven, and Aragan. Its chemical formula is C9H21O2PS3, and it has a molar mass of 288.42 g/mol.
Terbufos is primarily used on crops such as bananas, beans, citrus, coffee, groundnuts, sorghum, potatoes, sunflowers, and maize. It is applied to soil to combat pests like wireworms, mossy beetles, beet flies, and black bean louse.
Terbufos is not approved for use in the European Union. The World Health Organization classifies it as a class Ia compound, indicating it is extremely hazardous. The maximum residue limit in the EU is 0.01 mg/kg for most crops and animal products.
Monitoring terbufos residues is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulatory limits. Analytical methods such as gas chromatography and mass spectrometry are used to detect terbufos and its metabolites in various samples.
Terbufos can enter the body through dermal absorption, inhalation, or ingestion. It inhibits acetylcholinesterase, leading to an accumulation of acetylcholine and causing overstimulation of the neuromuscular junction. Acute exposure can result in symptoms like sweating, vomiting, muscle weakness, and respiratory failure.
Long-term exposure may increase the risk of lung cancer, leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and aggressive prostate cancer in males. No genotoxic effects have been detected, but reduced fetal body weight has been observed in mammals.
Terbufos is practically insoluble in water but freely soluble in organic compounds. It decomposes after prolonged heating and can be hydrolyzed in strong acids and bases. Its metabolites can be more toxic to amphibians than the parent compound.
Handling terbufos requires strict safety measures due to its high toxicity. Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, masks, and protective clothing should be worn. In case of exposure, immediate decontamination and medical treatment with atropine or oxime compounds are necessary.
