Naphthalene balls, also known as mothballs, are small, white, solid spheres made from naphthalene, a hydrocarbon compound. They are commonly used as a moth repellent and to protect clothes from pests, especially in storage. When exposed to air, naphthalene balls sublimate, releasing a strong, distinctive odor that deters insects. Naphthalene is toxic and can be harmful if ingested, inhaled, or if it comes into prolonged contact with skin, making safety precautions important during use. These balls are typically placed in closets, drawers, or storage boxes to prevent damage to clothing, wool, and other fabrics.Naphthalene balls are small, white, solid spheres made from naphthalene.Commonly used as mothballs to repel insects, especially moths.Release a strong, distinctive odor that deters pests.Sublimate into gas when exposed to air.Protect clothing and fabrics, particularly in storage.Toxic and harmful if ingested, inhaled, or in prolonged contact with skin.Commonly placed in closets, drawers, or storage boxes.Used to prevent damage to wool, clothing, and other fabrics.
