Usage

General Description

(2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxy)-(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)acetate, also known as 2,4,5-T, is a synthetic organic compound that was once widely used as a herbicide. It acts by mimicking the plant hormone auxin, causing uncontrolled growth and ultimately leading to the death of the targeted plants. However, due to its toxicity and health hazards, 2,4,5-T has since been banned in many countries, including the United States. Exposure to 2,4,5-T has been linked to a range of health issues, including skin and eye irritation, respiratory problems, and potential cancer risks. As a result, its production and usage have been heavily restricted to prevent further harm to human health and the environment.
