Methyl bromide; Bromomethane


Methyl bromide is chiefly used as a gas soil fumigant against insects, termites, rodents, weeds, nematodes, and soil-borne diseases. It has been used to fumigate agricultural commodities, grain elevators, mills, ships, clothes, furniture, and greenhouses. About 70% of methyl bromide produced in the U.S. goes into pesticidal formulations.
