TERBUFOS-SULFOXIDE

Description:
Terbufos-sulfoxide is an organophosphorus compound primarily used as an insecticide and acaricide in agricultural applications. It is a derivative of terbufos, which is known for its effectiveness in pest control. The substance typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a characteristic odor. Terbufos-sulfoxide is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water, which influences its application and environmental behavior. As an organophosphate, it acts by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, an essential enzyme for nerve function in insects, leading to paralysis and death. However, this mechanism also raises concerns regarding its toxicity to non-target organisms, including humans and wildlife. Safety measures are crucial when handling this compound, as it can pose health risks through inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion. Regulatory agencies often monitor its use to mitigate environmental impact and ensure safe application practices in agricultural settings.
