Sodium monofluoroacetate (Compound 1080) Overview

Оглавление

Sodium monofluoroacetate was introduced as a rodenticide in the USA in 1946 and subsequently used as pest control particularly of non-native species such as the fox and possum in Australia and New Zealand, respectively. Sodium monofluoroacetate is one of the most toxic pesticides and its use is restricted to trained, licensed applicators. However, accidental or malicious poisoning of domestic animals can occur in baiting areas. Accidental or malicious poisoning of companion animals can occur directly from bait ingestion or secondarily following the ingestion of a poisoned carcass. Sodium monofluoroacetate can be absorbed from the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts as well as across mucous membranes and abraded skin. Dogs are more susceptible than cats to this toxicant.
