Bromophos-ethyl (Ref: SHG-2225)
Last updated: 07/03/2022
(Also known as: bromophosethyl; ethyl bromophos)
Bromophios-ethyl is an obsolete organophosphate insecticide. It has a low aqueous solubility and is quite volatile. It is not generally persistent in soil systems. It is highly toxic to honeybees and aquatic invertebrates but slightly less so to most other species. Bromophos-ethyl is moderately toxic to mammals if ingested and may be an acetyl-cholinesterase inhibitor.
The following alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement.
