| Abstract | Metaldehyde, a cyclic polymer of acetaldehyde, is the active ingredient in many of the slug and snail baits used in the coastal and low lying areas of the United States (US) and Europe. Over 4.5 million kg of metaldehyde were used in households across the US from 1976 to 1977. Metaldehyde has also been used as a portable solid fuel. It is more efficient than silver iodide as a cloud-seeding chemical and has been listed as an anesthetic. |
