High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis

Overview

Thiram, also known as Dimethylcarbamothioic dithioperoxyanhydride, is a thiuram disulfide and the oxidized dimer of dimethyldithiocarbamate. It is commonly used as a fungicide and ectoparasiticide to prevent fungal diseases in seeds and crops. Thiram is also used as an animal repellent to protect fruit trees and ornamentals from damage by rabbits, rodents, and deer.

Thiram has a chemical formula of C₆H₁₂N₂S₄ and a molar mass of 240.42 g·mol⁻¹. It appears as a white to yellow crystalline powder with a characteristic odor.

Uses

Thiram is effective against various plant diseases such as stem gall of coriander, damping off, smut of millet, and neck rot of onion. It has also been used in the treatment of human scabies, as a sunscreen, and as a bactericide applied directly to the skin or incorporated into soap. Additionally, Thiram is utilized as a sulfur source and secondary accelerator in the sulfur vulcanization of rubbers.

Regulatory

Thiram is regulated under various international guidelines to ensure its safe use in agricultural and industrial applications. It carries an EPA U244 code as a waste product. The permissible exposure limits (PEL) and recommended exposure limits (REL) for Thiram are set at TWA 5 mg/m³ by NIOSH. The immediate danger to life or health concentration (IDLH) is 100 mg/m³.

Monitoring

Monitoring of Thiram residues is essential for compliance with regulatory limits in food and environmental samples. Laboratories conducting residue analysis rely on high-purity reference materials to ensure accurate and reliable results. Thiram is nearly immobile in clay soils or soils with high organic matter, reducing the risk of groundwater contamination.

Health Impact

Thiram is moderately toxic by ingestion and highly toxic if inhaled. Acute exposure in humans may cause symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal complaints. Chronic or repeated exposure may lead to sensitive skin and potential effects on the thyroid or liver.

Environmental Impact

Thiram is not expected to contaminate groundwater due to its in-soil half-life of 15 days and its tendency to adhere to soil particles. However, it is important to manage its use and disposal properly to minimize environmental impact.

Safety Measure

Proper safety measures should be taken when handling Thiram to prevent inhalation and ingestion. Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, masks, and protective clothing should be used. In case of exposure, immediate medical attention is recommended.
