The history of Detla(R) pesticides Is long. dating back to the mld-1930'o;. In 1970 I:'etia(R) GAS EX-a w .. s int,-oduced into the United States. DetlaCR) Tablets and DetlaCR) F'ellets wel-e I ntl-oduced In 1977. The manufactur'e,-, Det I a Freybel-q GMBH, West Germany wa~ the early pioneer In the development of hydrogen phosphide as a fumigant gas.

PRDr'UCT DESCRIPTION Both I:'etia(R) PeLLets and I:'etla(R) Tablets are a mixture of aluminUm phosphide (5i'X by weight), a(llmonium cAI-bamate and m-ea which Is pressed Into tab let and/ol- peLLet form. The neal-ly sphel-Ical peLLets al-e about .3/8" In dlametel- and we I gh 0.6 gl-ams each. Thzo tab lets are either disc shaped (4/5" in d i ametel- and 1/5" th i d,) 01- sphel- i ca lin shape (5/8" in dlametel-) and weigh ;;.0 gl-ams each. A peLLet wi LL pl-oduce about 0.2 gl-am hydl-ogen phosph ide, -the- tab let about 1.0 gram. Both react with atmospheric moisture to produce hydrogen phosphide (PH3) in the following way:

AlF' + 3 H20 A L(UH)3 + F'H3

Warm, humid air accelerates the reaction while cool, dry air has the opposite effect. FOI- example, when moistul-e and temperature of the fumigated commodity are high, decomposition of Detia(R) may be complete in less than 3 days. However,at moderate temperatures and low humidities decomposition may re,ulre 5 days or more. This reaction starts slowly, gradually acceler8tes and then tapers off again as the aluminum phosphide is spent.

Detla(R) PelLets and TabLets aLyo contain ammonium carbamate which Llbel-ates ammonia and cdi-f:oon dioxide as foLLows:

NH2 COONH4 2NH3 + C02

These gases al-e essentiaLLy nonfLammabLe and act as inel-ting a~ents to reduce fire hazards. lhe ammonIa gas also serves as a warning agent.

Spent Detla~R) is a gray-white powder composed aLmost entireLy of aluminum hydroxide and other approved Inert ingredients. If properly exposed, the spent Deti~(R) wilL normally contain onLy a smalL amount of unreact~d aluminum phosphide and may be disposed of wi thollt hazal·d. It Is DIl:t considered a hazardous waste. However, the partially spent reMidue from IncompleteLy exposed Detia(R) re,ulres speciaL care. Precautions and Instructions for further deactivation and disposaL wiLL be given Late\" in this manuaL.

The tablets are packaged =00 to a flask. The peLlets are packaged 1660 to a fLask.

The aLum I num fLasks in wh i ch they al-e packaged are reseaLable and seamLess. Their shelf Life is aLmost unlimited as Long as the packaging remains weLL £~aLed and intact. Once opened. the flasks may be tightly reseaLed and stored for future use.

n. WH,T IS HYDROGEN PHOSPHIT.IE'? Hydl-oge"O phosphide. mo,-e com~lonLy l-efen-ed to as phosphine, is a coLorLess gas which is toxic to insects, humans, and other forms of animaL Life. It Is very mobi le with a high vapOl- p,-essure. Thus, the peneil-at i ng caf'ab i L i ty of hydrogen phosphide is great. The combination of high molecuLar activity, vapOl- p,-eSSUl-e and toxicity to insects at Low dosages accounts for its wide acceptance as a fumigant.

Slnc~ hydrog~n phosphide is a mobile gas and wiLL penetrate to all parts of the storage structure. dosage must be bas~d upon the total volume of th~ space being fumigated anrl not on the amount of bulk commodity it contains. FOl- example. the same amount of Detia(R) is re,uired to treat a 30.000 bushel silo whether It is full or not. The following dosage ranges are allowed for bulk and space fumigations.

NfJTEI The max imum dosage a Llowed for dates. nuts and dl" ied fruits is 40 tablets or 200 pellets per 1000 cubic feet.

These dosages should not be exceeded. It is important to realize that shortened exposure period cannot be compensated for with an increased dosage.

l·he wille dosage ranges listed above aloe designed to accommodate the variety of fumigation situation~ that might occur. The major factor In selecting dosage is the capability of the structure to hold hydrogen phosphide during the eKpasure period and thus obtain and sustain lethal concentrations throughout. It 15 more difficult to obtain penetration of gas throughout the structure in bulk stored commodities. An example of this is the treatment of gl"ain stol"ed in flat stol"age In which fumigant cannot be uniformlY added to the grain but must be probed or surface app lied.

Although It Is permissible to choo~e from the full range of dosages listed above, the following dosage ranges are l"ecommended fOl" the val"ious types of fumigations.

The length of the fum i gat i on must be gl-eat enough sO as to piovide for ade,uate control of the Insect pests which infest the commodity being tI-eated. It is necessary to lengthen the fumigation at lowel- temperatul-es since insects are more difficult to ki II under these conditions. In this I-egard. the temperatul-e to which the Insects al-e exposed is the ci-itical factol-.

Cal-ef u l sea l i IIg is re'iU i I-ed to ensuI'e that ade''luate gas levels ar'e re'!ained. PI'opel- application pI'ocedlll-es must be fo llowed to PI-ovide sat isfactol-y distribution of hydrogen phosphide gas particularly in the fumigation of bulk c6mmodity contailled in large storages.

When pellets or tabLets are not uniformly added to a bulk commodity mass (I.e. suy'face application 01' shaLLow pl-obing) exposul-e times must be SUbstantiallY lengthened to allow penetl'ation of gas throughout the commodl'ty. As a ",-ule of thumb" a mi nlmum of 1 day should be added to the exposul-e time listed above for each 10 feet the gas must penetrate downward. It is preferable to add 2 days fur each 10 feet. Some structures can only be treated when completely tarped.

In addition, the fumigation period should be long enough that the pl-oduction ot" hyd,-ogen pho.sphlde has essentially ceased. This wi Ll minilnire wor~:el' exposure· dUI-lng fUI-th~l­storage and/or processing of the treated bulk commodity as weLL as reduce hazards in the disposal of spent aluminum phosphide products remaining after space fumigations. lemperature and humidity to which Detia(R) PeLlets and 'rablets are eKposed are Important to this determination since both lower temperatures and/or dry air retard gas ,"e Lease.

Othel- sea ling techni~ue. are rec~mmended, i.e. closure Jf all large cracks with caulking, foam insulation or other sealant. Sealing these cl-ad(s will greatly reduce the required dosage. Two mil or thicker plastic Can be used for tarplng the gra i n SUI-face, howevel-, the p last ic Used on the outside of the bin shOUld be at least 4 mils. When an entire structure is tarped the pLastiC must be at least 6 ml ls thick to prevent excessive tear·ing du,-Ing the fumigation.

(4) Additional Application Instructions Probing t~blets or pellets Into the grain n~ss Is the recommended method of application. Probe lnsel-tions should be scatten;)d evenly 01191- the SUI-face. A 1- ig id PVC I ipe, about:; to 7 fe:et long and 1 1/4 in"h dlametl~'- Can be used. In this event, use about 20-50 tablets or 100-250 pellets per probe.

Releas!ng all the fumigant Into the probe at once nlaY I-etal-d the pro(h\l::t I on of hydrogen phosp~lde and might causu an Ignition of gas trapped In the clump of peLlets or tablets. Place no more than 1/4 of the total dose In floor leveL aeration ducts. Be sure the Inside ~f the aeration duct Is dry before adding the pellets Or tdblets. Addition of Detla(R) to watel- in an af~)'·at Ion dur.:t can cause a fire. Seal the aeration fan as described above.

(5) Additional Precautions Do not fumig~te bins that wi II be entered by humans or animals prior to aeration. Do not fumigate areas which house e,ulpment containing cOpper or other metals Which wi II be con-oded by hydl-09en phosphide. "(\15 Includes

I. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION 1. WHEN RESPIRATORY PROTECTION MUST BE WORN

NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection must be worn during exposure to concentrations In excess of permitted limits or when concentrations are unknown.

2. ~'I!:RMISSn'LE GAS CONCENTRATION RANGES FOR RESPIRATORy PROTECTION DEVICES

A NIOSH/MSHA approved, full face gas mask - hydrogen phosphide canister combination may be used at levels up to 15 ppm or to escape from levels UP to 1500 ppm. Above this level or in situdtion$ whel-e the hydrogen phosph I de concentl-at I on I s unknown, a NIOSH/MSHA apPI-oved, self-conta i ned bl-eath i n<] appal-atus (SCBA) or i ts e~u i va Lent must be used. The NIllSH/OSHA Pocl:et Guide, 8-85, DHEW/NIOSH 78-210, lists these and other types of approved respirdtors and the concentration limits at which .they may be used.

3. REOUIREMENT!: F(JF~ AVAILABILITY OF RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

Respil-atory Pl-otection must be oliva I table at the site of application in case it Is needed when applying Detia(R) from within the structure being fumigated. An approved full face gas mask - phosphine canister combination 01-

self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or its e~ulvalent must be available at the site of application. If SCBA or Its e~ulvalent Is not avai table at tile application site, it must be <'Ivail.,ble locally, fOI­example, at a fire station or rescue s~uad.

Respiratory protection need not be available for application from outside the area to be fumigated such as addi1 Ion of tablets or pellets to automatic d i spens I ng dev ices, etc., if exp osun>s ab ove the permitted exposure limit wi II not be encountered.

Respiratory protection need nut be oliva I table for outdoor app 1 Icat Ions.

If monitoring e~ulpment Is nut avai lable on a farm and application cannot be done from outside the structure. an approved canister respirator must be worn during application from within the enclosed indoor area.

All pen!lons in the i,-eided 51 te and In adjacent indoor areas are covered by this exposure standard.

After appllcailon Is compLeted worker or applicator exposure must noi ~xceed 0.3 ppm maximum concentration. Such exposures may occur because of leakagd Into ~nclos~d areas from fumigation sites, during reentry or du,-l ng tl-ansfel- of uni)€wated commod I ty.

If possible, use Immediately. CAU.TIONJ AN IGNITION MAY OCCUR WHEN THESE CONTAINERS ARE REOPENED.

If the spi lled material Is contaminated or has begun to visibly decompose, gather it up and place it into open top, perforated gallon cans and process it immediately.

Do not add more than about one flask (2 to 3 lbs.) of spl lled material to the bucket. If on-site deactivation is not feasible. these op~n containers should be transported In open vehicles to a suitable area away from occupied bul ldlngs.
