Methyl isocyanate is a colorless, volatile liquid with the chemical formula C₂H₃NO, used primarily in the production of pesticides and polyurethane foams. It is highly reactive and serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals. Despite its utility, methyl isocyanate is extremely toxic and poses significant health risks if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin. Proper handling, storage, and stringent safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, are essential to minimize risks and ensure safe usage. The release of methyl isocyanate in the Bhopal disaster highlighted the importance of rigorous safety protocols in its handling.
