Common NameBromomethane
DescriptionPrincipally used as an insecticidal and nemacidal fumigant, especially for soil and agricultural produce. Also used as a solvent for extraction of plant oils The chemical compound bromomethane, commonly known as methyl bromide, is an organobromine compound with formula CH3Br. This colorless, odorless, nonflammable gas is produced both industrially and particularly biologically. It is a recognized ozone-depleting chemical. It was used extensively as a pesticide until being phased out by most countries in the early 2000s
