Technical Details & Test Data
- Dosage Rates For Commodities & Burrowing Pests
Phosphine is a mobile gas and will penetrate to all parts of the storage structure. Therefore, dosage must be based upon the total volume of the space being treated and not on the amount of commodity it contains. The same amount of PHOSTOXIN ® is required to treat a 30,000-bushel silo whether it is empty or full of grain unless, of course, a tarpaulin seals off the surface of the commodity.
Safety & Health
- Precautionary Statements
Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals
DANGER:Aluminum phosphide from PHOSTOXIN®tablets, pellets or dust may be
fatal if swallowed. Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Do not eat, drink or
smoke while handling aluminum phosphide fumigants. If a sealed container is
opened, or if the material comes into contact with moisture, water or acids, these
products will release phosphine, which is an extremely toxic gas. If a garlic odor is
detected, refer to the Industrial Hygiene Monitoring instructions found in Section 15.6
of this manual for appropriate monitoring procedures. Pure phosphine gas is odorless;
the garlic odor is due to a contaminant. Since the odor of phosphine may not
be detected under some circumstances, the absence of a garlic odor does not mean
that dangerous levels of phosphine gas are not present. Observe proper re-entry
procedures specified under Section 15.4 in this labeling to prevent over-exposure.- Environmental Hazards
This product is very highly toxic to wildlife. Non-target organisms exposed to phosphine gas will be killed. Do not apply directly to water or wetlands (swamps, bogs, marshes, and potholes). Do not contaminate water by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
