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

Overview

Tetrachlorvinphos is an organophosphate insecticide used primarily to control fleas and ticks. Its chemical formula is C₁₀H₉Cl₄O₄P, and it has a molar mass of 365.95 g/mol. The compound is known for its effectiveness in pest control but also for its potential health and environmental impacts.

Uses

Tetrachlorvinphos is used in various applications, including pet flea collars, livestock treatments, and pest control in buildings. Initially registered for use in the United States in 1966, its application on food crops was voluntarily canceled in 1987.

Regulatory

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) oversees the regulation of Tetrachlorvinphos. In 2014, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) filed a lawsuit against the EPA to ban its use in pet flea treatment products due to potential health risks.

Monitoring

Monitoring Tetrachlorvinphos residues is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis rely on high-purity reference materials to achieve accurate and reliable results.

Health Impact

Exposure to Tetrachlorvinphos can lead to symptoms such as increased perspiration, nausea, lachrymation, salivation, blurred vision, diarrhea, pulmonary edema, respiratory distress, and convulsions. It is a cholinesterase inhibitor and a positive animal carcinogen.

Environmental Impact

Tetrachlorvinphos is slowly hydrolyzed in neutral and acidic media but rapidly hydrolyzed in alkaline media. It is insoluble in water and may pose risks to aquatic environments if not managed properly.

Safety Measure

Handling Tetrachlorvinphos requires adherence to safety guidelines, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and proper ventilation. The compound is labeled with hazard statements H302, H332, and H410, and precautionary statements P261, P264, P270, P271, P273, P301+P312, P304+P312, P304+P340, P312, P330, P391, and P501.
