Chlorpyrifos-methyl

Description:
Chlorpyrifos-methyl, with the CAS number 5598-13-0, is an organophosphate insecticide that is primarily used in agricultural applications to control a variety of pests. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. This compound functions by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, leading to the accumulation of acetylcholine in the nervous system of insects, ultimately resulting in their death. Chlorpyrifos-methyl is known for its effectiveness against a wide range of insects, including those that affect crops and livestock. However, it is also associated with potential environmental and health risks, prompting regulatory scrutiny in various countries. Its use has been restricted or banned in some regions due to concerns about its impact on non-target organisms, including beneficial insects and human health. Chlorpyrifos-methyl is typically applied in agricultural settings, and its persistence in the environment can lead to contamination of soil and water sources. Proper handling and application are essential to mitigate risks associated with this chemical.
