Toxicology of Methyl Bromide

  • Chapter
Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology

Part of the book series: Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology ((RECT,volume 142))

Abstract

Methyl bromide is widely used as an insecticidal fumigant in food supplies, warehouses, barges, buildings, and furniture, and as a termiticide for dry-wood termites (Incisitermes spp.). Its popularity as a fumigant is largely attributable to its high toxicity to many pests, the variety of settings in which it can be applied, its ability to penetrate the fumigated substances, and its rapid dissipation following application (Alexeeff and Kilgore 1983). Methyl bromide is also used in fire extinguishers and refrigerant systems, and in the chemical industry as a methylating agent and an extraction solvent (Alexeeff and Kilgorc 1983; Merck Index 1983).
