|Section2= |Section3= |Section7= |Section8= }} Sodium fluoroacetate, known in pesticide form as 1080, is the organofluorine chemical compound with the formula FCH2CO2Na. This colourless salt has a taste similar to that of sodium chloride and is used as a metabolic poison. Potassium fluoroacetate occurs naturally as an anti-herbivore metabolite in various plants but can also be produced synthetically. It is a derivative of fluoroacetic acid, a carboxylic acid. The more common fluorinated acetic acid trifluoroacetic acid and its derivatives are far less toxic. ==History and production== The effectiveness of sodium fluoroacetate as a rodenticide was reported in 1942. The name "1080" refers to the catalogue number of the poison, which became its brand name. The salt is synthesized by treating sodium chloroacetate with potassium fluoride. It is widely circulated that the ''only company'' currently producing 1080 is the Tull Chemical Company in Alabama, United States; a small operation in Oxford Alabama who used to export the chemical to Mexico and Israel (as a rodenticide), Australia (where it is used to kill native dingoes, wild dogs, feral pigs, foxes, and native browsing herbivores)〔Paull, John (2011) (Environmental Management in Tasmania: Better off Dead? ) In Godfrey Baldacchino & Daniel Niles (Eds) Island Futures: Conservation and Development Across the Asia-Pacific Region (Chapter 12: 153-168) Global Environment Series, Tokyo: Springer.〕 and New Zealand (for possum, rat and stoat control). In 1988 the US EPA cancelled the registration and use of 1080 as a rodenticide in the USA. The U.S. Department of the Interior registration of 1080 as a field rodenticide was withdrawn following a 1972 Executive Order prohibiting its use on federal lands. Since 2001 the use of 1080 in the USA is tightly controlled, and is now restricted to use in livestock protection collars to protect sheep and goats from coyotes in eight western US states. The manufacture of 1080 also occurs in New Zealand through a Government-owned company Animal Control Products Ltd/Pestoff situated at Wanganui on the north island New Zealand. According to New Zealand parliamentary questions this facility has produced several thousand kilograms of 1080 annually since 1997/98. The largest number of manufacturers of 1080 (No. 62-74-8 ) and fluoroacetic acid (No. 144/144-49-0 ) are now located in China. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sodium fluoroacetate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
