Sodium monofluoroacetate, also commonly referred to as sodium fluoroacetate or 1080 in its pesticide form, is a derivative of fluoroacetic acid.
Sodium monochloroacetate occurs naturally in various plants as an anti-herbivore, and its salt form can be produced synthetically by treating sodium chloroacetate with potassium fluoride.
Sodium monochloroacetate has been used in several countries to protect agriculture from various herbivorous mammals, and has been used extensively in New Zealand and Australia to control invasive non-native mammals that threaten native wildlife and vegetation.
When used as a pesticide, 1080 is typically administered in bait-pellet form that is applied aerially or inside a collar worn by livestock that will be released if the collar is punctured.
Exposure to 1080 most commonly occurs by interaction with an infected animal, broken collars, or excess pellets.
Sodium monofluoroacetate has recently surfaced in the news in the wake of a threat to contaminate infant and other powdered formula manufactured in New Zealand with the substance.
According to some reports, New Zealand uses nearly 80% of the world’s sodium monofluoroacetate to control invasive pests such as rats and possums, and unknown individuals are threatening to contaminate the infant formula as a protest to the government’s policy to use it. The threat was sent via letters to several organizations that demanded New Zealand’s Department of Conservation stop using 1080 to eradicate invasive species by the end of March 2015.
The letters contained samples of milk powder that tested positive for the colorless, tasteless poison.
In response to the threat, regulatory agencies have increased testing on formula imported from New Zealand for sodium monofluoroacetate contamination.
Sodium Monochloroacetate is available as granule and in powder form (of the two forms, granules have better flowing characteristics and reduced caking behavior, making them easier to use).
At room temperature Sodium Monochloroacetate is a white hygroscopic solid (in powder or granule form).
Hydrolysis of aqueous solutions of SMCA very rapidly leads to the formation of sodium glycolate and hydrochloric acid, depending on the temperature and time for which it is kept in open.
Sodium Monochloroacetate is a hazardous substance and has been officially classified as “toxic" but unlike MCA, SMCA is not corrosive to the skin.
As far as known, Sodium Monochloroacetate does not penetrate the skin but is absorbed after ingestion, causing systemic poisoning.
Prolonged contact should be avoided since Sodium monochloroacetate is hygroscopic and hydrolysis may occur on wet skin and eyes.
Sodium Monochloro Acetate is hazardous when ingested or inhaled.
Even low concentrations may cause poisoning, associated with vomiting and/or symptoms of shock (agitation and/or confusion, later unconsciousness, pale clammy skin, rapid pulse).
This may lead to very serious and even fatal injury if immediate and adequate action is not taken.
Exposure should be as low as possible but at least lower than the limits set by local regulations such as the Maximum Allowable Concentration (MAC) value for a working day of 8 hours.
Expert medical attention should be obtained immediately for anyone who has been in contact with ingested or inhaled Sodium Monochloro Acetate.
Personal protection, such as acid resistant gloves and clothing, safety goggles, and dust protection for handling solids, must be used to avoid contact with Sodium Mono chloroacetate.

Sodium monochloroacetate is a sodium salt of acetic acid.
Sodium monochloroacetate is also called Acetic acid, sodium salt or Sodium acetate anhydrous.
Sodium acetate along with an alkyl halide like bromoethane can be used to form an ester.
Sodium monochloroacetate is either in its white granular powder form appears as monoclinic crystals.
Sodium monochloroacetate is hygroscopic in nature and easily soluble in water.
Sodium monochloroacetate is usually odourless but when heated to decomposition its smells like vinegar or acetic acid.
Medically sodium acetate is given intravenously as an electrolyte replenisher.
Sodium monochloroacetate corrects the sodium levels in hyponatremic patients.
USES:
In the field of biotechnology, sodium acetate is widely used as a source of carbon for the culturing of many important bacteria.
The yield of the ethanol precipitation process for the isolation of DNA can be increased with the use of sodium acetate.
Sodium monochloroacetate is also vital to the textile industry, where Sodium monochloroacetate is used as a neutralizing agent in order to neutralize streams of sulphuric acid which is produced as a waste.
Sodium monochloroacetate is also used as a pickling agent during chrome tanning activities.
Sodium monochloroacetate also acts as a concrete sealant and is, therefore, used to reduce the water damage suffered by concrete in the construction industry.
Sodium monochloroacetate is highly soluble in water.
The solubility of this compound in water increases when the temperature is increased.
For example, at a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius, anhydrous sodium acetate has a solubility in water of 1190 grams per litre.
However, when the temperature is increased to 100 degrees Celsius, the solubility of this compound in water increases to 1629 grams per litre (in its anhydrous form).
The trihydrate of this compound is not as soluble in water and its solubility corresponds to 464 grams per litre at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.
Sodium monochloroacetate can be produced from the reaction between acetic acid (usually used in the form of vinegar) and sodium carbonate (usually used in the form of washing soda).
Sodium monochloroacetate can be used as an alternative to sodium carbonate in this reaction.
Industrially, this compound is prepared by reacting acetic acid with sodium hydroxide in the presence of water (which functions as a solvent).
In the textile industry, sodium acetate is used to neutralize waste sources of sulphuric acid and also as a photoresist using aniline dyes.
Sodium monochloroacetate is also a pickling agent for chromium tanning and helps in the manufacture of synthetic rubber to avoid chloroprene vulcanization.
