Usage

General Description

Tetrakis(acetoxymethyl)mercury (TAMM) is a chemical compound that is used in the preservation of wood and as a fungicide. It is a white crystalline powder that is highly toxic and should be handled with extreme caution. TAMM is effective in preventing decay and fungal growth in wood, making it a commonly used wood preservative in the past. However, due to its high toxicity and potential for environmental harm, its use has been restricted in many countries. Exposure to TAMM can lead to serious health issues, including skin irritation, respiratory problems, and damage to the central nervous system. Therefore, it is important to strictly adhere to safety protocols when working with this compound.
