I ngā purongo hou, kua rongonui te matū dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) puta noa i ngā ahumahi maha nā te mea he maha ngā whakamahinga me ngā whanaketanga tonu.

Kua kitea e te Dimethyl disulfide, he wai kore tae ki te kōwhai mārama me te kakara motuhake, he kakara kaha, tōna wāhi i roto i ngā momo rāngai. I roto i te umanga hinu, he mahi nui tāna hei kaiwhakapūnga whanariki mō ngā whakakorikori e whakamahia ana i roto i ngā tukanga hydrodesulfurization hinu.

Heoi anō, he rauemi mata nui te DMDS mō te hanga patupatu. He takawaenga hoki ia mō te hanga patupatu pēnei i te fenthion. Hei tauira, ka tauhohe ki te cresol hei hanga i te 2 – methyl – 4 – hydroxyanisole sulfide, ka tukatukahia anō hei hanga fenthion, he patupatu organophosphorus tino whai hua, he iti te paitini. He whānuitia te whakamahinga o tēnei patupatu hei whakahaere i ngā pepeke pēnei i te kaipara raihi, te kaipara pīni soya, me ngā torongū namu, ā, ka taea hoki te whakamahi i roto i te rongoā kararehe hei whakangaro i ngā kutukutu me ngā mātā o te namu kau.

I roto i te mara o te hanga matū, ka whakamahia te DMDS hei whakaputa i ētahi atu matū nui kei roto he whanariki. Ka taea te whakamahi hei hanga i te methylsulfonyl chloride me ngā hua waikawa methylsulfonic, e whai whakamahinga ana i roto i ngā tukanga matū rerekē.

Kei te whanake haere hoki te mākete me te hanga o te DMDS. I te tau 2023, i tū te Huihuinga Whakawhitiwhiti Ahumahi Dimethyl Disulfide ā-Motu tuatahi ki Yiwu County. I kōrerohia e rātou ngā whai wāhitanga me ngā wero e pā ana ki te umanga DMDS, ā, i whakaurua mai hoki te tukanga methyl mercaptan sulfidation i hangaia i te motu – te tuatahi – mō te hanga DMDS. Ehara i te mea ka whakarite noa tēnei tukanga i ngā hua kounga teitei engari ka whakanuia hoki te whakamahinga o te hau para me te hau hiku, ka whakaitihia te pānga ki te taiao ki te whakataurite ki ngā tukanga tuku iho.

I te haere tonu o te whanaketanga o ngā ahumahi, me te rapu i ngā otinga whai hua me te pumau, e matapaetia ana ka nui ake te mahi a te dimethyl disulfide a meake nei, hei akiaki i te auahatanga me te tipu o ngā rāngai hinu, matū, me te ahuwhenua.
