The US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) along with other international regulatory bodies have published many test methods for the analysis of pesticides. AccuStandard offers a comprehensive product line of CRMs to test for pesticides that are designed for EPA Methods 505, 508, 525, 614, 8080, 8140, 8270, and more.

Pesticides in Cannabis

Testing the quality and safety of cannabis and cannabis related products is important for both medicinal and recreational users. As part of the cannabis cultivation process, pesticides are applied regularly to improve yield by controlling pest growth. Hence, testing for residual pesticides in cannabis has become essential to reduce consumer’s exposure to these toxins. Our pesticides standards product line offers a comprehensive selection of CRMs specifically designed to help meet the requirements for pesticides residual analysis in cannabis. It includes CRMs for ASTM test method D8399 as well as state specific CRMs for the states of CA, CO, CT, FL, MD, MA, MI, NY, NV, OK, PA.

Carbamates

The N-methyl carbamate esters, also known as Carbamates, are chemical compounds that are commonly used as an insecticide applied to crops for the control of insects. Human exposure to these chemicals can come through the consumption of contaminated vegetables, fruits or drinking water. Some carbamates such as Aldicarb, Carbaryl, Carbofuran, Methomyl and Thiocarb are known for its toxic impacts on the human nerve system. Reliable identification of these contaminants is critical to minimize the general public exposure to these chemicals.

Organophosphates

Also known as (OP) pesticides, Organophosphates is a class of chemical compounds that are widely used as a pesticide not only in agricultural but also commercial and residential applications. Being an enzyme inhibitor, Organophosphates are able to kill insects by disrupting the nerve system which makes these chemical classified as neurotoxins. Organophosphates pose a major risk to human especially pregnant women and children due to its ability to negatively impact neurological developments. Human exposure to Organophosphates such as Diazinon, Mevinphos and Tetraethyl pyrophosphate is linked to different adverse health effects such as loss of memory, weakness and headache. As a result, identifying Organophosphates residual and contaminants is important to reduce exposure to these chemicals.

Triazines and Triazinones

Triazine herbicides are the most heavily used agricultural chemicals in the United States. They are used to control broadleaf weeds primarily for corn and soybeans.

A number of studies have shown that atrazine is an endocrine disruptor, causing damage to reproductive systems in frogs, fish and other wildlife. Potential health hazards to people and a negative environmental impact lead to the banning of atrazine in the European Union (EU) in 2005.

The controversy over potential human health hazards, resulting from the use of atrazine and other triazine herbicides has renewed an interest in analyzing these compounds.

Neonicotiniods and Fipronils

Neonicotinoid Standards

Neonicotinoids are linked to the decline of honeybees and are a contributing factor in colony collapse disorder (CCD). Toxicity levels may not kill bees directly; low level exposures may limit the ability of honeybees to forage, collect pollen and return to their hive. Besides direct contamination, Neonicotinoid exposure can be from dust, pollen and/or nectar.

Fipronil Standards

Fipronil is also linked to the decline of honeybees. Fipronil is in the phenyl pyrazole class of pesticides and is a broad-spectrum insecticide used in commercial products such as flea and tick control pet collars. Fipronil metabolites are more toxic to organisms than the parent compound. Anaerobic metabolism in soil results in Fipronil sulfide, oxidative degradation in soil results in the metabolite Fipronil sulfone, and photodegradation results in the formation of a very persistent metabolite, Fipronil desulfinyl.
