Bromomethane, commonly known as methyl bromide, is an organobromine compound with formula CH3Br. This colorless, odorless, nonflammable gas is produced both industrially and biologically. It is a recognized ozone-depleting chemical. According to the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, it has a global warming potential of 2.[5] The compound was used extensively as a pesticide until being phased out by most countries in the early 2000s.[6] From a chemistry perspective, it is one of the halomethanes.
