CAS 24934-91-6: chlormephos
Description:Chlormephos is an organophosphate compound primarily used as an insecticide and acaricide in agricultural applications. It is characterized by its ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme crucial for the proper functioning of the nervous system in insects, leading to paralysis and death. Chlormephos is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a faint odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Its chemical structure includes a phosphorus atom bonded to chlorine and other organic groups, which contributes to its biological activity. Due to its potential toxicity to non-target organisms, including humans and wildlife, the use of chlormephos is subject to regulatory scrutiny in many countries. Safety measures are essential when handling this substance, as it can pose health risks through inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion. Overall, while effective as a pesticide, the environmental and health implications of chlormephos necessitate careful management and adherence to safety guidelines.
