Methyl Bromide

Description

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.
