I. INTF:ODUCTION

A. HIGTORY The histo,-y of Detia(fO metal phosphide pesticides is long, dating back to the mid-1930's. In 1970 DetiaCR) GAS EX-B was introduced into the United States. DetiaphosCR), which has recently been introduced into the U.S.A., contains magnesium pl,osphide d9 the active ingredient. The manufactu,"e,-, Det i a F,-eyb",-g G~mH, West Germany was the early pioneer in the development of hydrogen phosphide as a fumigant gas.

B. PRDDUCT DESCRIPTION Both [let iaphosCR) RDTOXCR) MP and Det i.,phos(R) ROTOXCR) MT are a mixture of magnesium pl,0sphide (34% by weight), ammonium carbamate and other inerts which are pressed into tablet and/o,- pellet fo,-m. The ne.,rly sphe,-ical pell.ets are about 3/8" in diameter and weigh 0.6 gl~ams eilch. The tabLt-~1"s dIMe eithel" disc shilped (4/5" in diametel- .and 1/5" th i e~{) 0\- sphel- i eel lin shape (5/8" in d i am(-~ter) a nd we i gh 3.0 grams each. A pellet wi II produce about 0.1 qram hydrogen phosphide, the 1ablet about 0.5 gram, Both react with atmospheric moisture to produce hydrogen phosphide CPH3) in the folLowin<j way;

M<j3P2 + 6 H20 3M9COH)2 + 2PH3

Warm, humid air accelerates the reaction whi le cool, dry air has the opposite effect.

DetiaphosCR) RUTOXCR) also contains ammonium carbamate which libeyates ammunia and carbon dioxide as follows:

NH2 COONH4 2NH3 ... C02

"'"hese gases are essen1ially nonflammable and act as inerting elgents to l-ed uce f i l-e ha zards. The ammo n i a qas c!) lso ser-ves as a warning agent.

C. PRODUCT PACKAGING The tab lets a,-e polck.lged 500 and 100 to a flash. The pe l Lets ar"e pad:aged 1660 and :;;00 to a f lolsft.

"rhe aluminum flasks in which tlley are packaged are l-esea lab I.e and seam Le}:;s. Their ~1hel.f life is almost llnLimited as long ~s 1he Pdck~ging remains well sealed and intact. Once opened, the fl.asks may be tightly reseal.yd and stored for future use.

D. WHAT IS HYDROGEN PHOSPHIDE? ~~ydrogen pll0sphide, more c()mmonly referred to as phosphinet is a C:OlOl"'LE-~sS gas which is toxi(: to l-odentst hllfn~nSt and othel- fOI"m5 of anl'",,1. I.it"f~. It is ve,"y mobi le with a high

vapor pressure. Thusf the penetrating capabi lity of hydroqen phosphide is g\··ea't. The combination of high molec:ulal-activity, vapor pressur@ dnd toxicity at low dosages accounts for its wide acceptance as a fumigant.

E. SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Ca,-eful.ly ,-ead the labeling and follow insh-uctions

exp l ic i t I.y. 2. Never allow uninsi",-ucted peY~50nS to handle

Det i aphos(R). 3. Wear dr v ··loves made of cotton or other material when

contact \'.jl -;, ·tableis t pellets or their dU~1t is Lihel.y. 4. Upen fumigant containers in open air. Never open in a

flammable atmosphere. 5. Do not allow Detia(R) to contact li~uid water or to

pi La up. 6. Dispose of empty container·s in a pl-ope,- manne,­

consistent with the label instructions. 7. Aerate contaminated cLothing in welL venti Lated area

prior to washing. 8. Keep containers tightly closed except when rem0ving

product. 9. Do not re-use magnesium ptlosphide containers for any

pm-pose ottH?r" than recycling 01- r·econditionin~l.

:1.0. OSHA r£:.'commends that the eXp05u,-e sCl-eeni nq of employees be conducted to detect impaired pulmonary function. OSHA ,-ecommends that any empl.oyees developing the above condition be referred for medical attention.

II. PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

A. HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND 1I0MESTIC ANIMALS Keep Out of Reach of Chi ldren DANGER--POISON

Magnesium phosphide in peLLets~ tablets or their dust can be fatal. if swall.owed. [10 not get in ey€~s, in nose, on shin 01-

C. NOTE T() PHYSICIAN Magnesium phosphide tablets. pellets or their dust reacts with moisture from the air, w~terf acids and many other li~uids to release hydrogel' phosphide (phosphine) qas. Mi ld exposure by inhalation causes malaise (indefinite feeling of sic~{ness), 1~ingin9 of eal-S, f<.",tigue, nausea and p,-essu,-e in chest which ar'e relieved by removal to fresh air. Moderate pOisoninq causes we~-~kness, vomi1:ing, (~piqast'~ic pain (pain .ius·t abovf!' -I:he s"tomllch), chest pain, di~ll-rhea and dyspnea (difficulty il' br~athlng).

L. SPILL AN!) LEAK PROCEDURES 1.. GENERAI_

A spi ll, other than incidental to application or normal handling or punctu,.-ed flasks can p,-od,,,: .. high levels of 9as, and the>-efo,-e, attelld i 119 pe,-sonnel must wea,- a SCBA or its e~uivalent when tt,e concentration of hydrogen phosphide gas is unknown. If the concentr4tion is known, other NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection can be worn. Wear dry cotton or other gloves when handling spill.ed maie,-ial.

2. DAMAGE TO F1BERBOAFW CASE Check a lumi num flasks. If they a,-e damaged hand le as desc,- ibed below. If they a,-e undarnaged ,-etu,-n them to cardbGard cartons or other suitable packaging which complies with DOT regulations.

3. LEAI<:lNG FLASK PHOCE.(IURES If alum inurn f I.a'!..'iks have been PllBctllred Ol~ damaged causing a Leak, the prodllct may bR immediately usedt the containe,- may be tempo,-a,-i ly ,-epai,-ed with al.llminu.m tape or the Detiaphos(R) may be trallyferred from the damaged fLas~t to a sOllnd metal container which shollld be sealed and pl~Ope}- ly Labeled as ith3gnesi urn pilosph ide.

the damaged containers to an area suitAble for pesticide storage for inspeciion. Fu·~ther instructions and recommendations may be obtained, if required, from Res~nrch Products Company.

Hand le empty damaged con1 •• i ner's as desc,- ibed under "DISPOSAL OF EMPTY FLASKS" above.

SPILL PROCEDUF<ES Do not flush sp i L Lage dow" d,-a i n with water. DO .mT use wate,- at anytime to cl.ean UP a spill. Wale,- in contact with unreac1ed tablets or pellet. will rapidly dccel.erate the production of hydrogen phosphide gas and couLd cause spontaneDus ignition of the gas. If the spi Ll is only a few minutes old and is not contarninated by other materiaLs, coLlect the spi llage and place it back into the original fl.ask or other sound metal con·taine,- and tighten the cap. Ii' possible use immediately. CAUTION: AN IGNITION MAY OCCUR WHEN THESE CONTAINERS ARE F,EOPENEl1.

If the sp I l led mater' i a lis c ontam I nated 0'- has beCJun to viSibly decompose, gath",- It llP and pl.ace it Into open top, perforated gallon can. and proce.s It Immediately.

Do not add more than about one flask (2 to 3 lb •• ' of spilled mate,-ial to the buchet. If on-site deactivation is not feasible, these open containers should be transported in open vehicl.e. to a suitable

~i. DEACTIVATION AND DISPOSAl_ OF Ut::lBfi:eCIE:IL01LE:ABIIAl.l.:LBEaCIEIi_ TABLETS OR PELLETS a • WI'lLl'lllihlHl

Transport material by hand or in open vehicles to open air away from occupied structures. Fill a drum ~/3 full with water.

Add 1/4 cup of low sudsing detergent or surfactant in each gallon of water. Each flask of tablets or pellets should be mixed with no less than 1 gallon of water/detergent solution. Slowly pour the material into the water as it is stirred. Stir occasionaLly thereafter for at Least 6 hours. Appropriate respiratory protection must be worn. DO NOT COVER "THE CONTAINER. IF THE CDNTAINER IS COVERED THE HYDROGEN PHDSPHIDE BEING GENERATED WILL BE CONFINE:D ANn WILL DECOMPOSE EXFLOSIVELY. The wet method of deactivation is the method of choice for 1.uantities in excess of 5 flasks (10 to 15 pounds). It is safe to dispose of this slurry.

Dispose of the l-esulting deactivated slun-y, with 01-

without preliminary pouring out of excess watert at c!l sani"tal-Y I.andfi II 0\- o1"hel- suitabl.e bll\-ial site approved by local authorities. Where permisSible -\"h Is sl.m-r"y may be pOllred into a storm sewe\- 01- ('!ut onto the ground.

b • Iky._I'I~lb..o.d As an alternative to the wet method, when permisSible small amoul1ts (up to 5 flasks> of partially reacted or um-eacted material may be spread out in an open, secure area away from occup i ed bu i ld i ngs to be de<~ct i vated by atmosph.,,- i c ma i stu,-e.

NOTE\ Never place pellets, tablets, their dust or the dust/water slurry in G confined container such as a cLosed drum or pLas+~c bags. Any hydrogen phosphide genel-ated wi II be confined and may decompose eKPLosively.
