α-(2,4-Dichlorphenoxy)-o-cresyl N-methylcarbamat, also known as aldicarb, is a synthetic organophosphorus compound that functions as a carbamate insecticide. It is primarily used to control a variety of soil-dwelling and foliar pests in agricultural crops. Aldicarb is known for its high toxicity and rapid action, making it effective against insects that have developed resistance to other pesticides. However, due to its potential health risks and environmental concerns, including the formation of toxic metabolites, its use has been restricted or banned in many countries. The chemical is characterized by its ability to inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase in the nervous system of insects, leading to their paralysis and death. Despite its effectiveness, the high toxicity of aldicarb to humans and non-target species, as well as its persistence in the environment, has led to significant regulatory actions to limit its application.
The CAS Registry Mumber 22130-59-2 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 2,2,1,3 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 9 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 22130-59: (7*2)+(6*2)+(5*1)+(4*3)+(3*0)+(2*5)+(1*9)=62 62 % 10 = 2 So 22130-59-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
