Tetraethyllead (Cat.No:M017997) is an organometallic compound formerly used as an additive in gasoline to improve engine performance. However, its toxicity and environmental impact led to its phase-out in many countries. It is notorious for contributing to lead pollution and health hazards, emphasizing the importance of its regulatory restrictions.
