High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis of Trichloroacetic Acid.

Overview

Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is a chemical compound with the formula C₂HCl₃O₂. It is a colorless to white crystalline solid with a sharp, pungent odor. TCA is widely used in biochemistry for the precipitation of macromolecules such as proteins, DNA, and RNA.

Uses

TCA is employed in cosmetic treatments like chemical peels and tattoo removal. It also serves as a topical medication for the chemoablation of warts, including genital warts. Historically, the sodium salt of TCA was used as an herbicide.

Regulatory

According to the European Chemicals Agency, TCA is classified as a substance that causes severe skin burns and eye damage, and is very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects.

Monitoring

Monitoring the presence of TCA in environmental and biological samples is crucial for ensuring safety and compliance with regulatory standards.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Exposure to TCA can cause severe skin burns and eye damage. The median lethal dose (LD₅₀) for rats is 5000 mg/kg when taken orally.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

TCA is very toxic to aquatic life and has long-lasting effects, necessitating careful monitoring and control to prevent environmental contamination.

Safety Measures

Proper safety measures include using personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles, and following precautionary statements like P260 (Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray) and P280 (Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection).
