General Description

Trimethyltin, also known as TMT, is a highly toxic organotin compound that is used in various industrial applications. It is colorless and has a strong, unpleasant odor. Trimethyltin is known to cause severe neurotoxic effects, leading to symptoms such as convulsions, tremors, and cognitive impairment. Exposure to trimethyltin can occur through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact, and it is important to handle this chemical with extreme caution due to its hazardous nature. Trimethyltin is often used as a catalyst in chemical reactions and as a component in the production of plastics and as a pesticide. Due to its toxicity, regulations and safety measures need to be implemented to minimize the risk of harm associated with trimethyltin exposure.
