CAS 78-34-2: Dioxathion
Description:Dioxathion, with the CAS number 78-34-2, 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 critical for the proper functioning of the nervous system in insects, leading to paralysis and death. Dioxathion is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is moderately soluble in water and has a higher solubility in organic solvents, which facilitates its application in various formulations. The compound is known for its relatively low volatility, which helps reduce the risk of atmospheric contamination. However, it is classified as toxic to humans and wildlife, necessitating careful handling and application to minimize exposure. Environmental persistence and potential bioaccumulation are also concerns associated with its use, prompting regulatory scrutiny in many regions. Overall, while dioxathion is effective in pest control, its safety profile requires adherence to strict guidelines to mitigate risks to health and the environment.
