Our reference mixtures for the analysis of organochlorine pesticides

Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), such as DDT, lindane and chlordane, are among the most closely monitored chemical substances in the world. Long used on a large scale to combat pests, they are now recognised for their long-lasting toxic effects on human health and ecosystems.

Their high chemical stability and ability to accumulate in living organisms make them persistent organic pollutants (POPs). These characteristics have led to their strict regulation under the Stockholm Convention, which aims to reduce or even eliminate their presence in the environment. However, despite these regulations, their use continues in certain contexts, including in France, due to the lack of effective alternatives.

The residual presence of these compounds in soils, sediments or biological tissues is a major challenge for health and environmental authorities. Rigorous analytical monitoring is essential to quantify exposure, understand the dynamics of contamination and implement appropriate remediation strategies.

To meet the growing demands of environmental analysis laboratories, Wellington Laboratories offers a complete range of analytical standards: individual solutions, native and isotopically labelled mixtures, specifically designed for the analysis of the OCPs of greatest concern. These high-purity mixtures are rigorously formulated to guarantee maximum reliability in your chromatographic analyses.

With Wellington solutions, available from BCP Instruments, you have powerful tools at your disposal to effectively monitor these persistent pollutants and help protect public health and the environment.
