Potassium fluoroacetate


Sodium fluoroacetate, also known by its trade name as a mammal poison compound 1080, is an organofluorine chemical compound with the chemical formula FCH2CO2Na. It is the sodium salt of fluoroacetic acid, and contains sodium cations Na+ and fluoroacetate anions FCH2CO−2. A colourless salt with a taste similar to table salt (sodium chloride), it is used under the name "1080" to kill small and medium mammals, including rodents. New Zealand has no endemic ground-based mammals and is the world's biggest user of 1080, particularly to kill introduced brushtail possums, often with aerial distribution of bait pellets Wikipedia
