Mothballs are made from a chemical, I don't recall what the name is... Anyways, this chemical off-gasses into the air and it is toxic to breathe.
Mothballs are legally sold for use of the purposes listed on the label. It is illegal to use mothballs for other purposes including using mothballs in gardens.
Bleh. Mothballs are gross.
Mothballs don't have a chemical name, but we can identify the chemicals used in them. They used to contain naphtha, or naphthalene (C10H8), but they are currently made with 1,4-dichlorobenzene (C6H4Cl2). Camphor (C10H16O) is also used in some mothballs. Manufacturers also include a bit of something that acts as a deodorant. Wikipedia has additional information, and a link is provided.
As I opened the wardrobe, mothballs fell out.
the mothballs will fly away
I have never known mothballs to cause nose bleeds.
While it is not proven that mothballs will keep wasps away, there is evidence that they do. Mothballs also seem to keep small rodents away too.
no
Yes, mothballs contain naphthalene, which is a poison if inhaled.
NO! Not safe!
No, most modern mothballs contain 1,4-dichlorobenzene, while older mothballs contained naphthalene. Neither of these chemicals are useful in the production of methamphetamine.
