High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis of Tetramethrin.

Overview

Tetramethrin is a potent synthetic insecticide belonging to the pyrethroid family. It appears as a white crystalline solid with a melting point between 65–80 °C. The commercial product is a mixture of stereoisomers.

Uses

Tetramethrin is widely used in household insecticide products. It functions by affecting the insect's nervous system, leading to paralysis and death. It is commonly applied in aerosols, sprays, and other forms for pest control.

Regulatory

Tetramethrin is regulated under various international guidelines to ensure its safe use in pest control products. Compliance with these regulations is mandatory for manufacturers and distributors.

Monitoring

Monitoring the residue levels of Tetramethrin in food and the environment is crucial for ensuring safety and compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories conducting these analyses require high-purity reference materials for accurate results.

Health Impact

Human toxicity

The median lethal dose (LD50) of Tetramethrin for rats is 20,000 mg/kg when administered orally. This indicates relatively low acute toxicity in mammals.

Environmental Impact

Effects on wildlife

Tetramethrin has an expected half-life of 12.5–14 days in soil and 13–25 days in water. Its persistence in the environment can pose risks to non-target organisms, including aquatic life and beneficial insects.

Safety Measure

Proper handling and application of Tetramethrin are essential to minimize exposure risks. Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be used during its application.

Regulation

Regulatory bodies like the EPA and WHO have established guidelines for the safe use of Tetramethrin in pest control. Adhering to these guidelines ensures the protection of human health and the environment.
