Methyl Iodide also known as Iodomethane is a chemical compound made up of Methane and iodide a derivative of Iodine. MeI is used as an abbreviation for Methyl iodide and has a molecular formula CH3I. It is a volatile, dense and colourless liquid. It is emitted in small quantities naturally by rice plants. It is majorly produces throughout the world from kelp and algae that are found in the temperate oceans. The amount of methyl Iodide produced every year is estimated to be more than 214, 000 tonnes. It is also produced through bacterial and fungi found on land, although quantity of methyl iodide produced through this process is lesser in amount. Methyl Iodide manufacturer in India recommends that the compound be stored in dark amber to prevent degradation.
