CAS identity reference ↗Core data coverage: 81.3%
13 of 16 defined fields have sourced information. This is data coverage, not a safety score, EcoSafe assessment or human-verification mark.
CAS cross-check: CAS 57-24-9 appears on the NIOSH card and in the returned PubChem CID’s synonyms. The CAS checksum and molecular-weight consistency were screened; variable-form and ambiguous matches were held out.

Physical description: Colorless to white, odorless, crystalline solid. [pesticide]
Occupational hazard context: Stiff neck, facial muscle; restlessness, anxiety, increased acuity of perception; increased reflex excitability; cyanosis; tetanic convulsions with opisthotonos
The hazard text above reproduces the NIOSH symptoms field; it is not a complete GHS classification, exposure assessment or current supplier SDS. Read the original card and applicable supplier documentation.
Missing core fields: Uses · Density · SDS/TDS
Grade-specific properties, verified manufacturing origin and EcoSafe assessments are tracked separately and are not established by this import.
