Azinphos-methyl

Description:
Azinphos-methyl 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. The substance appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a faint odor and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Azinphos-methyl is known for its high toxicity to a variety of non-target organisms, including mammals, birds, and aquatic life, which raises concerns regarding its environmental impact and safety. Due to its potential health risks, including neurotoxicity, many countries have restricted or banned its use in agriculture. Proper handling and application are essential to minimize exposure and mitigate risks associated with this chemical. As with all pesticides, adherence to safety guidelines and regulations is crucial to ensure both human health and environmental protection.
