Talk:Naled

Similarities to G-Series nerve agents
While I agree on the matter of a molecule like Naled being somewhat distinct with respect to it's molecular structure when compared against "worse" AchE inhibiting organophosphorus agents I do not agree that there is no connection. Nerve agents are direct descendants of Dr. Schrader's original pesticide work and function much in the same, if not outright identical, manner. Just because there are large halogenated carbon groups providing steric interference and and lowering LD50 doesn't mean that the meat of the mechanism isn't there. The only (true) difference I can find in structure and function is the fact that Naled, like a large number of OP pesticides, does not possess a chiral phosphate moiety which is a calling card of nerve agents. I would hardly call that cause to discriminate between the two.

I would also raise the question of employment. If someone were looking at this from a military perspective, is there really a difference between something like Naled (or even better Parathion) and a 'true' nerve agent? They could both be employed in much the same way.

 * Yes, there is relation in terms of chemical structure, but to compare naled to chemical weapons is inappropriately (and perhaps intentionally) inflammatory language. It is different enough in chemical structure and different enough in biological activity that regulatory agencies have determined that there is little risk associated with human exposure to it.  Comparing something with low level of toxicity to something with extraordinarily high toxicity is just plain misleading.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:38, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

chloride fumes
Don't exist cause they can't. Fumes of just ONE kind of ions are impossible. At some 1000° mixtures of ions (always positive and negative ones in equal amounts) are possible. As we live at moderate temperatures, toxic fumes by decomposition can be chlorine, bromine, hydrogen bromide, hydrogen chloride, and bromine chloride. Now we have the choice... --FK1954 (talk) 16:03, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
