High-purity reference materials for precise residue analysis

Overview

Trichloromethane, commonly known as chloroform, is a volatile, colorless, and dense liquid with a strong, pleasant odor. It has the chemical formula CHCl3 and is widely used as a solvent in various industrial applications.

Uses

Trichloromethane is used in the production of refrigerants, as a solvent for fats, oils, rubber, alkaloids, waxes, and resins, and in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of various compounds. It is also used in laboratories for analytical purposes.

Regulatory

Trichloromethane is regulated due to its potential health and environmental impacts. It is classified as a possible human carcinogen (IARC Group 2B) and is subject to strict reporting requirements by facilities that produce, store, or use it in significant quantities.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of trichloromethane levels in environmental and food samples is essential to ensure compliance with regulatory limits. High-purity reference materials are crucial for accurate and reliable residue analysis.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Exposure to trichloromethane can cause central nervous system depression, liver and kidney damage, and respiratory issues. It is metabolized in the liver, producing toxic metabolites such as phosgene.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Trichloromethane is a volatile organic compound that can dissipate from soil and water, undergoing degradation in the air. However, it can still pose risks to aquatic organisms and wildlife through bioaccumulation and toxicity.

Safety Measures

Proper handling and storage of trichloromethane are essential to minimize exposure risks. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and ensure adequate ventilation in areas where trichloromethane is used.

Regulation

Trichloromethane is classified as an extremely hazardous substance in the United States and is subject to strict regulatory controls. It is also listed under various international regulations due to its potential health and environmental hazards.
