Chlorpyrifos a High Volume Pesticide • Highest sales of chlorpyrifos of all organophosphate pesticides worldwide, and the third among all pesticides. • In 2010, the consumption of chlorpyrifos globally (converted into technical) reached 80,000 tonnes with CAGR of about 12% in the past five years (2005 to 2010). • Chinese production capacity was 116,000 tonnes (2010). Chlorpyrifos Chlorpyrifos-Methyl • In Vietnam about 37,000 tonnes of 2,4,5-T have been sprayed in total containing 366 kg TEQ to 1123 kg TEQ (Stellmann et al., Nature 422, 681-687 (2003)
Thermal experiments with Chlorpyrifos and 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol • All pyrolysis experiments were carried out in sealed brown glass ampoules (10 ml; air) with about 2 mg of respective chemical chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos-methyl and the major degradation product of chlorpyrifos, 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCPy) at temperatures between 300ºC and 380ºC. Chlorpyrifos Chlorpyrifos-Methyl Analytical grade chlorpyrifos, TCPy (both Dr. Ehrenstorfer GmbH, Augsburg/Germany) and chlorpyrifos-methyl (Wako Pure Chemicals, Osaka/Japan) were used.

Clean-up column behaviour 2,3,7,8-TCDD-Py • The 2,3,7,8-TCDD-Py does not elute gogether with PCDD/PCDF in the following clean-up columns: (mention which columns • The Pyridin-analogues as base are adsorbed on the column and need specific elution in the clean-up • Therefore PCDD-Py are not transfered to GC/MS with (most?) current clean-up columns and would therefore not be detected in GC/MS (even in scan mode).
Dioxin Toxicity (DR-CALUX) • Dioxin-like toxicities were assessed with the DR-CALUXTM assay. • Extremely high dioxin-like toxicity was detected from the treatment at 380ºC of TCPy (143,000 ng 2,3,7,8-TCDD bio-TEQ/g treated TCPy). • The 48 h kinetic indicated that the dioxin-like active compounds were stable.
Conclusion/Recommendation • 2,3,7,8-TCDD-Py (having dioxin-like toxicity) is formed from chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos-methyl and in particular their major degradation product (TCPy) in heating experiments highlighting the need to investigate the formation of 2,3,7,8-TCDD-Py in real world scenarios with thermal stress e.g. • cigarette smoking (chlorpyrifos used in tobacco cultivation) • the combustion of post-harvest residues • fires in pesticide production or storage.
Conclusion/Recommendation • Furthermore, 2,3,7,8-TCDD-Py is a high volume pesticide used for e.g. should be screened in chlorpyrifos pesticide formulations. With the background that 2,4,5-TCP based pesticides (Agent Orange, Pink, Purpule, White contained extreme high 2,3,7,8-TCDD levels). • Such assessments should include bio-assays for quantitative toxicity information on the extent of dioxin-like activity considering that also compounds other then 2,3,7,8-TCDD-Py seem to have dioxin-like activity in thermal treatment of chlorpyrifos.
