Methyl Bromide Determination

Methyl bromide is a colorless and toxic gas. It has been used as a lethal to insects, insects and bacteria especially in agriculture sector and in warehouses based on poison property. It has also been effective in fighting weeds. Methyl bromide is a chemical compound that is non-flammable, readily liquefied, slightly soluble in water and easily soluble in organic solvents.

Methyl bromide has been an effective pesticide that has been widely used in agricultural fields for many years. Methyl bromide, which is normally gaseous, is a colorless and odorless compound and is toxic to animals and the environment. It also carries a risk for human health. Some plants leave bromine residues, which damage the plant.

Methyl bromide was widely used in fields and gardens to disinfect soil and to protect dry foodstuffs. It is a highly toxic compound with strong penetration.

But even worse, it was effective in thinning the ozone layer. In the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Regulation on the Reduction of Methyl Bromide Use in Agriculture was published in 2000. This regulation aims to reduce the usage and import of methyl bromide in agriculture within the framework of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer to which Turkey is a party. In this way, there is a limitation for the use of methyl bromide, which is used as a plant protection drug, in agriculture, except for its storage and pre-use. In 2009, the use of methyl bromide for any purpose is prohibited in our country.

Methyl bromide determination studies are carried out in authorized laboratories within the scope of chemical tests. In these studies, test criteria published by domestic and foreign organizations are complied with. With these systematic and scientific studies carried out in laboratories, more reliable and unbiased service is provided.
