Bromomethane, also known as methyl bromide, is a colorless gas with a sweet odor. 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 restrictions under international agreements like the Montreal Protocol.
