CAS 2540-82-1: formothion
Description:Formothion, with the CAS number 2540-82-1, is an organophosphorus 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. Formothion is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The compound is known for its effectiveness against a wide range of pests, making it valuable in crop protection. However, due to its toxicity to non-target organisms, including humans and wildlife, its use is regulated in many countries. Safety precautions are essential when handling formothion, as exposure can lead to adverse health effects. Environmental persistence and potential bioaccumulation are also concerns associated with its application, necessitating careful management to mitigate ecological impacts.
