Research Excerpts

Overview

Sulfuryl fluoride (SO2F2) is a radiatively active industrial chemical released into the atmosphere in significant (ktonne/ year) quantities. It is used to control drywood termites and wood-boring beetles.

Treatment

ExcerptReferenceRelevance

Toxicity

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
