Research Excerpts

Overview

Methyl iodide (MeI) is a monohalomethane used as an analytic and organic chemistry reagent, as a methylating agent in organic chemical synthesis, and as a fumigant. It is under review for US registration as a non-ozone depleting alternative for methyl bromide for pre-plant soil fumigation.

Effects

Methyl iodide (MeI) has been proposed as an alternative to methyl bromide as a pre-plant soil fumigant that does not deplete stratospheric ozone. MeI has been tested, with positive outcome, in early carcinogenicity bioassays not based on modern methodology.
