High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis of Trichlorfon.
Overview
Trichlorfon, also known as metrifonate, is an organophosphate compound used primarily as an insecticide. It is an irreversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and is activated into the active agent dichlorvos. Trichlorfon is utilized in various applications including pest control in agriculture and non-food areas.
Uses
Trichlorfon is used to control a wide range of pests such as caterpillars, white grubs, mole crickets, cattle lice, sod webworms, leaf miners, stink bugs, flies, ants, cockroaches, and more. It is applied on golf course turf, home lawns, ornamental shrubs and plants, and in non-food contact areas of food and meat processing plants. Additionally, it has been used in ornamental and baitfish ponds.
Regulatory
Trichlorfon has faced various regulatory restrictions and bans. In the United States, it is restricted to nonfood and nonfeed sites. It was banned in the EU in 2008, Brazil in 2010, Argentina in 2018, New Zealand in 2011, and India from 2020. These bans are due to its conversion to dichlorvos and potential environmental and health impacts.
Monitoring
Monitoring of Trichlorfon residues is essential to ensure compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis rely on high-purity reference materials to achieve accurate and reliable results. HPC Standards GmbH provides these essential reference materials tested according to international quality requirements.
Health Impact
Trichlorfon is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, which can lead to neurotoxic effects in humans and animals. It has been proposed for use in treating schistosomiasis and Alzheimer's disease, but its use for these purposes is not currently recommended due to safety concerns.
Environmental Impact
Trichlorfon can have significant environmental impacts, particularly due to its conversion to dichlorvos, which is highly toxic to aquatic life and other non-target organisms. Its use is therefore heavily regulated to minimize environmental contamination.
Safety Measure
Handling Trichlorfon requires strict safety measures to prevent exposure. Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, masks, and protective clothing should be used. Proper storage and disposal according to regulatory guidelines are also crucial to ensure safety.
