Bromomethane, also known as methyl bromide, is a colorless, odorless gas at room temperature. It is primarily used as a pesticide and fumigant in agriculture to control pests and diseases in crops. Due to its effectiveness, it has been widely used in various countries, although its use is regulated because it can deplete the ozone layer. In addition to its agricultural applications, bromomethane is also utilized in the production of certain chemicals and as a solvent in laboratories. However, its potential health risks, including toxicity and environmental impact, have led to increased scrutiny and restrictions on its use under international agreements like the Montreal Protocol.
