OFFICE OF
PESTICIDES AND TOXIC SUBSTANCES
SUBJECT: Amendments to Registration Standard for Aluminum
and Magnesium Phosphide of October 8, 1986
Gentlemen:
In response to requests for an alternative schedule
for implementing the labeling required by the subject
standard, the Agency has determined that the following
schedule is effective immediately:
March 1, 1987 — Registrants submit revised labeling.
March 15, 1987 — EPA returns approved new product manuals
and labels.
May 31, 1987 — Cases of product entering commerce after
this date must contain a new EPA approved product manual.
A stamp or similar notice on the outside of the case
will read:
"The use of aluminum (or magnesium) phosphide is required
to be used in accordance with the procedures and safeguards
described in the product manual dated . A copy
of that manual is enclosed in this case. You are required
to review this manual before using this pesticide. If you
are purchasing less than a full case, your retailer or
distributor must provide you, without charge, a copy of
this manual. Notice to Retailers -- Each purchaser of
this pesticide, whether by the case lot or less than
a case lot, must receive a copy of the manual described
in this notice."
The phrase "entering commerce" means that registrants
may not release for shipment, distribute, sell offer
for sale, hold for sale, ship, deliver for shipment,
or receive and (having so received) deliver or offer
to deliver, to any person products which do not meet
these requirements after May 31, 1987.
-------
January 31, 1988 — All pesticide product containers
must bear an EPA approved label which complies with the
Registration Standard. In addition, an approved
product manual must be in each case. After this date
registrants may not release for shipment or other
persons may not distribute, sell, offer for sale, hold
for sale, ship, deliver for shipment, or receive and
(having so received) deliver or offer to deliver, to
any person products which do not meet these requirements.
Sincerely yours,
Edwin F. Tinsworth, Director
Registration Division

AMENDMENTS TO REGISTRATION STANDARDS FOR
ALUMINUM AND MAGNESIUM PHOSPHIDE
Amendments
First paragraph, following the last sentence, add:
"Physical presence means that the certified appli-
cator must be available on site or on the premises."
After second paragraph ("Rationale:..."), insert
following paragraphs:
Use is permitted only by or in the physical presence
of a certified applicator (CA). The rationale for this
requirement is based on three criteria: (1) complexity
of application directions, (2) high volume/concentration
of applied product at the treatment site and (3)
toxicity of the product. (1) Complexity of the appli-
cation methods is demonstrated by the extensive
label directions and precautions with respect to
respiratory protection, applicator and worker exposure
monitoring, placarding, site preparation, first aid,
storage and disposal techniques, etc. The great
variation in use sites requires careful judgment by
the applicator to properly plan and execute each
fumigation. A CA is needed in the event of an accident,
leak or any situation which might require immediate
action to prevent or respond to exposure to hydrogen
phosphide. (2) The concentrations of hydrogen
phosphide gas generated at each fumigation site are
very high, ranging from 100 ppm to 1,200 ppm depending
on the dosage. The acute hazard posed by such concen-
trations warrants the physical presence of a CA. (3)
Finally, the high acute toxicity of hydrogen phosphide
gas is a significant concern. Numerous acute inhala-
tion studies are available. For example, rabbits
exposed to 1,500 ppm died in 10 minutes; the LC5Q
for rats exposed to 11 ppm was achieved in 4 hours.
Available data also show incidents associated with
the use of aluminum phosphide: the EPA Pesticide
Incident Monitoring System shows 29 incidents occurred
between 1966 and 1981; the California Department of
Agriculture reports for 1981 to 1985 that 10 individuals
were hospitalized and 16 were disabled related to
occupational exposure. The possibility of occupational
exposure to a gas of this toxicity supports the
physical presence of a CA.
Physical presence of the CA is defined as on site or
on the premises. This definition does not mean that
the CA necessarily needs to be present at the point
of application, rather that the CA be readily available
on the premises.
-------
13-14 The terms "confined space," "enclosed space," and
"enclosed area" are replaced by the phrase "enclosed
indoor area."
13 Second paragraph, fourth sentence is revised to read:
"If monitoring equipment is not available on a farm
and application cannot be done from outside of a
structure, an approved canister respirator must be
worn during application from within an enclosed indoor
area."
Third paragraph, sentences 4, 5, and 6 are deleted.
("If 0.3 ppm or less phosphine is detected . . .
etc.")
14 Top paragraph, revise last sentence to read:
"At least two trained persons must be present when
the product is applied from within a space to be
fumigated or during reentry into a fumigated or par-
tially aerated space."
15 First paragraph, fifth sentence is revised to read:
"To determine whether aeration is complete, each fumi-
gated site or vehicle must be monitored and shown to
contain 0.3 ppm or less phosphine gas in the air space
around and, when feasible, in the mass of the commodity."
16 Replace "§180.377" with "§180.375."
20 At bottom of page, Restricted Use Statement, after the
first sentence ("For retail sale to..."), insert:
"Physical presence means on site or on the premises."
21 Last paragraph, replace fourth sentence with: "If a
garlic odor is detected, refer to section on respiratory
protection or applicator/worker exposure for appropriate
monitoring procedures. Pure phosphine gas is odorless;
the odor is due to a contaminant."
23 Section g, delete the sentence: "Persons applying this
fumigant must complete an EPA approved training program
for fumigants."
Revise third paragraph to: "At least two trained
persons must be present when the product is applied
from within a space to be fumigated or during
reentry into a fumigated or partially aerated space."
Fourth paragraph, revise third sentence to: "Notify
appropriate company employees and provide relevant
safety information to local officials annually for
use in the event of an emergency."
-------
24
First paragraph, change second sentence to: "However,
trucks, vans, trailers, and similar transport vehicles
cannot be moved over public roads or highways until
fumigation is completed."
25-26 The terms "confined space," "enclosed space," and
"enclosed area" are replaced by the phrase "enclosed
indoor area."
25 Second paragraph, fourth sentence is revised to read:
"If monitoring equipment is not available on a farm
and application cannot be done outside of a structure,
an approved canister respirator must be worn during
application from within an enclosed indoor area."
Third paragraph, sentences 4, 5 and 6 are deleted
("If 0.3 ppm or less phosphine is detected . . .
etc.").
26 First paragraph, delete entire last sentence: "Two
trained persons must be present..."
27 Section j, item 2 change to "Area and/or Commodity
under fumigation, DO NOT ENTER/NO ENTRE."
Last paragraph, change second sentence to: "To deter-
mine whether aeration is complete, each fumigated
site or vehicle must be monitored and shown to contain
0.3 ppm or less phosphine gas in the air space around
and, when feasible, in the mass of the commodity."
28 Section I, last sentence revise to "Do not store
in buildings where humans or domestic animals reside."
33 Section o, second paragraph, first sentence, change
"outdoors" to "outdoors or indoors, in the presence
of appropriate mechanical ventilation."

I. INTRODUCTION
This is a revised version of the registration standards
which were issued by the Environmental Protection Agency in
October 1981 for aluminum and magnesium phosphide. The re-
quirements contained in this document supersede those pre-
scribed in the previous edition of the standard. This docu-
ment also supersedes the Label Improvement Program Notice
of November 15, 1984, which was issued as Pesticide Registra-
tion Notice 84-5, and PR Notice 85-6 of August 30, 1985.
The Agency decided to remove aluminum or magnesium phosphide
fumigants from the requirements of the LIP notices in order
to prescribe new labeling requirements which are consistent
with data submitted by registrants in response to data gaps
identified by the 1981 standards.
In February 1986 the Agency issued an amended registra-
tion standard for aluminum and magnesium phosphide. However,
in response to many comments received, those amended standards
are being withdrawn and are superseded by this amended standard.
Consequently, the deadlines for implementation of labeling
changes have been changed. Registrants must submit draft
labeling for approval no later than October 31, 1986. Pro-
ducts sold by the registrant or others must bear revised
labeling as of March 31, 1987.
EPA has established the Registration Standards program
in order to provide an orderly mechanism by which pesticide
products containing the same active ingredient can be reviewed
and standards set for compliance with FIFRA. The standards
are applicable to reregistration and future applications for
registration of products containing the same active ingredient.
Each registrant of a product containing an active ingredient
subject to this Standard who wishes to continue to sell or
distribute that product must bring the product and labeling
into compliance with FIFRA, as instructed by this Standard.
Pesticides have been grouped into use clusters and will be
reviewed on the basis of a ranking scheme giving higher
priority to (1) pesticides in clusters used on food and feed
crops; and (2) pesticides produced in large volumes.
The Registration Standards program involves a thorough
review of the scientific data base underlying a pesticide's
registration. The purpose of the Agency's review is to
reassess the potential hazards arising from the currently
registered uses of the pesticide; to determine the need for
additional data on health and environmental effects, and to
determine whether the pesticide meets the "no unreasonable
adverse effects" criteria of FIFRA. In its review EPA identifies
1. Studies that are acceptable to support the data
requirements for the currently registered uses of the
pesticide .
-------
-2-
2. Additional studies necessary to support continued
registration. The additional studies may not have been
required when the product was initially registered or may be
needed to replace studies that are now considered inadequate.
3. Labeling revisions needed to ensure that the product
is not misbranded and that the labeling is adequate to protect
man and the environment.
The detailed scientific review, which is not contained
in this document, but is available upon request!. focuses on
the pesticide active ingredient. The scientific review
primarily discusses the Agency's evaluation of and conclusions
from available data in its files pertaining to the pesticide
active ingredient. However, during the review of these data
the Agency is also looking for potential hazards that may be
associated with the end use products that contain the active
ingredient. The Agency will apply the provisions of this
Registration Standard to end use products if necessary to
protect man and the environment.
EPA's reassessment results in the development of a
regulatory position, contained in this Registration standard.
on the pesticide and each of its registered uses. See
Section II - Regulatory Position and Rationale. Based on its
regulatory position, the Agency may prescribe a variety of
steps to be taken by registrants to maintain their registrations
in compliance with FIFRA. These steps may include:
1. Submission of data in support of product registration:
2. Modification of product labels;
3, Modifications to the manufacturing process of the
pesticide to reduce the levels of impurities or contaminants;
4. Restriction of the use of the pesticide to certified
applicators or other specially trained individuals;
5. Modification of uses or formulation types,- or
6. Specification of packaging limitations.
Failure to comply with these requirements may result in
the issuance of a Notice of intent to Cancel or a Notice of
intent to Suspend (in the case of failure to submit data).
scientific reviews may be purchased from the Information
Services Section, Program Management and Support Division
(TS-757C). EPA, 401 M St. SW, Washington, DC 20460.
-------
-3-
In addition, in cases in which hazards to man or the
environment are identified, the Agency may initiate a special
review of the pesticide in accordance with 40 CFR Part 154
to examine in depth the risks and benefits of use of the
pesticide. If the Agency determines that the risks of the
pesticide's use outweigh the benefits of use, the Agency
may propose additional regulatory actions, such as cancellation
of uses of the pesticide which have been determined to cause
unreasonable adverse effects on the environment.
EPA has authority under the Data Call-in (DCI) provisions
of FIFRA sec. 3(c)(2)(B) to require that registrants submit
data to answer our questions regarding the chemical, toxico-
logical, and environmental characteristics and fate of a
pesticide. This Registration Standard lists the data EPA
believes are necessary to resolve our concerns about this
pesticide. These data are listed in the Tables A, and B in
Appendix I. Failure to comply with the DCI requirements
enumerated in this Registration Standard may result in issuance
by EPA of a Notice of Intent to Suspend the affected product
registrations.
Registrants are reminded that FIFRA sec. 6(a)(2) requires
them to submit tactual information concerning possible unreason-
able adverse effects of a pesticide at any time that they
become aware of such information. You should notify the
Agency of any information, including interim or preliminary
results of studies, if those results suggest possible adverse
effects on man or the environment. This requirement continues
as long as your products are registered by the Agency.

II. REGULATORY POSITION AND RATIONALE
A. Introduction
This amended registration standard describes the current
regulatory position of the Environmental Protection Agency
for all registered manufacturing use pesticides (MUPs)V
containing aluminum or magnesium phosphide as the sole
active ingredient. End use pesticides (EUPs)£/ are reviewed
and reregistered under a registration standard when there are
no registered MUPs containing the chemical under review or
when significant label changes are required for the EUPs
that will allow continued registration and use of these
products without any unreasonable adverse effects to humans
or the environment.
There are no registered manufacturing use products
containing aluminum or magnesium phosphide as the sole
active ingredient; and significant labeling changes are
prescribed by this amended standard for end use products
containing this active ingredient. Hence, for both reasons
stated above, end use products with aluminum or magnesium
phosphide must be registered or reregistered in accordance
with the requirements of this amended standard within the
deadlines specified in it.
Future requests for registrations of substantially
similar products will be considered for registration/
reregistration under this amended standard. Dissimilar
products may be evaluated for registration. If registered,
the standard will be amended accordingly. After briefly
discussing the chemical and its uses, this chapter presents
the current regulatory position and rationale, the criteria
for registration, acceptable ranges and limits, applicable
data requirements and labeling considerations.
I/ An MUP is one which is registered for incorporation,
formulation, or repackaging into an EUP. Labels for
MUPs must bear all necessary statements consistent
with Section 162.10 of 40 CFR, with the exception that
they do not bear specific use directions for application
and use of the pesticide.
2/ EUPs must bear complete labeling including use directions,
~~ or at least minumum labeling for the intended uses and
a referral statement indicating where the expanded use
directions can be obtained.
-------
-5-
In developing its regulatory position the Agency
determines whether available data indicate that a pesticide
has met or exceeded the criteria for unreasonable adverse
effects to humans or the environment, as specified in
Section 154.7 of Title 40 of the U.S. Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR). Pesticides meeting these criteria are
candidates for a special pesticide review, an intensive
risk/benefit assessment. The Agency's determination as to
whether any of these criteria have been triggered and its
rationale tor any regulatory actions are summarized in the
regulatory position of this amended standard.
B. Description of the chemical and its uses
1. Chemical and Physical Characteristics
Pure aluminum or magnesium phosphide occurs as a
solid, dark, gray material (granules or powder). It must
be protected from moisture in the atmosphere in air-tight
containers. Contact of the solid material with moisture in
the air, with water, or with acids causes it to release
phosphine which is a highly toxic gas. The residue remaining
from this reaction is aluminum hydroxide. The formula for
pure aluminum phosphide is AlP; the molecular weight is
57.96; the American Chemical Society's Chemical Abstracts
Service (CAS) number is 20859-73-8; and the EPA Registry
Code number is 066501. For magnesium phosphide, the formula
is MgP; the molecular weight is 134.79; the CAS number is
12057-74-8; and the EPA Registry Code is 066504.
2. Registered Uses
The primary uses of aluminum or magnesium phosphide
are indoor fumigation of agricultural food commodities,
animal feeds, processed food commodities, and non-food
commodities (tobacco), in sealed containers or structures
to control insects which attack these commodities; and
outdoor fumigation of burrows to control rodents and moles
in non-domestic areas away from dwellings.
C. Regulatory Position and Rationale
1. Basic Product Chemistry
To register or reregister products containing aluminum
or magnesium phosphide under this amended standard, each
registrant must provide product specific data in accordance
with the product chemistry data requirements.
-------
-6-
Rationale; Data on the chemical and physical properties of
the pure grade of aluminum or magnesium phosphide are
available from the public literature. This information is
useful since it provides basic information that aluminum
phosphide in its dry form is relatively stable if protected
from moisture but that it readily releases phosphine gas
if it comes in contact with moisture from the air, water
or acids. However, this information does not fulfill the
basic product chemistry requirements to support registration/
reregistration of pesticides containing aluminum or magnesium
phosphide because such products are not pure. They contain
deliberately added inert ingredients which may differ from
one product to another.
Product chemistry data are product specific and must
be developed for the particular product in question and sub-
mitted for each pesticide product proposed for registration.
Only in those instances where one product is identical to
another can the data for the one be used in support of the
other. An example of this situation is when a registered
pesticide belonging to one firm is purchased and repackaged
by another.
There are no products registered which consist solely
of the technical grade of the active ingredient, TGAIV
aluminum or magnesium phosphide, or in combination with
other deliberately added ingredients. Nevertheless, this
amended standard contains data tables itemizing the
applicable product chemistry requirements for these types
of products in the event such products are proposed for
registration under this standard.
2. Acute Toxicity Data
The Agency has waived the requirement for registrants
to submit acute toxicity data for aluminum or magnesium
phosphide products.
Rationale; The Agency routinely requires acute toxicity
data for each product proposed for registration to place
the product in its appropriate toxicity categories with
respect to ingestion hazards, dermal acute toxicity,
I/ The Technical Grade of an Active Ingredient (TGAI) is
~ that grade of a pesticide which can be manufactured
from starting materials, consistent with good chemical
manufacturing practice, on a production scale, without
deliberately added inert ingredients, such as solvents,
diluents, stabilizers, emulsifiers, etc. Generally, the
TGAI is the highest concentration that is practical to
produce without exhaustive purification procedures and
only contains impurities resulting from side reactions
of the starting materials.
-------
-7-
dermal irritation, eye irritation and inhalation hazards.
The results of the data dictate appropriate precautionary
labeling for the product consistent with the general label-
ing requirements of Section 162.10 of 40 CFR.
In the case of aluminum or magnesium phosphide pro-
ducts, the Agency has waived the requirement for registrants
to develop and submit acute toxicity data for their products
because the high acute toxicity of aluminum or magnesium
phosphide is well known. As soon as aluminum or magnesium
phosphide comes in contact with moisture or water it releases
phosphine gas which is known to be highly toxic by inhalation.
Therefore, the Agency considers aluminum or magnesium
phosphide to be as highly toxic as phosphine and has placed
it in toxicity category I, the highest category.
3. Acute Toxicity Risks
The Agency has determined that the registered uses
of aluminum or magnesium phosphide will not generally cause
unreasonable acute adverse effects to humans or to the
environment, provided that the pesticide is used in accordance
with the approved use directions and revised precautionary
statements prescribed by this amended standard.
Rationale; As described in detail in sections II.B.6. and
9. below, the Agency has classified all end use products
as restricted use materials and has required extensive new
label precautions, exposure limits and respiratory protec-
tion for applicators and workers during application and
reentry, revised storage and disposal procedures, placard-
ing requirements and other label revisions which should
prevent unsafe exposures to phosphine gas.
4. chronic Toxicity and Dietary Exposure
No chronic toxicology or residue chemistry data are
required for aluminum or magnesium phosphide or phosphine
gas with respect to potential dietary exposure to these
chemicals.
Rationale; The 1981 registration standards for aluminum
and magnesium phosphide reserved chronic toxicology studies
until certain chemically uncharacterized residues which result
from the treatment of food are characterized and evaluated.
Subsequent to the 1981 registration standards, the Agency
has received information^/ which identifies these formerly
unidentified residues as oxidation products of phosphine

(phosphorus oxy-acids and/or their salts). Having reviewed
these data, the Agency has concluded that these decomposition
products of phosphine are toxicologically insignificant
at the levels found in the treated commodities. Hence,
the Agency has waived the requirements for residue, metabo-
lism and storage stability data.
5. Chronic Toxicity Risks and Worker/Applicator Exposure
Toxicity tests (subchronic inhalation, teratogenicity
and mutagenicity) and exposure (monitoring) data are required
to assess the margins of safety for workers and applicators
exposed to phosphine gas. No further toxicity or exposure
data are needed for aluminum or magnesium phosphide per se.
Rationale; The Agency does not have adequate data to deter-
mine whether phosphine gas may cause any long term adverse
(chronic) effects on humans and the environment. The 1981
registration standards for aluminum or magnesium phosphide
reserved chronic toxicology studies until receipt and review
of reentry data. The 1981 standards stated that when
reentry data are received and evaluated to determine if
there is any exposure to the applicator, the Agency would
determine whether mutagenicity, teratology and additional
subchronic inhalation studies are required.
In response to the 1981 standard, the Agency received
re-entry studies from the registrants, j/ Levels ot phosphine
in the air were monitored after treating tobacco with aluminum
or magnesium phosphide in hogsheads. Aeration was achieved
by natural circulation of air through the vents of the
structures. The data show that with adequate aeration
phosphine levels in fumigated structures can be reduced to
non-detectable levels (less than 0.1 ppm or 0.14 mg/m^) .
The data also show that if structures are closed before
complete aeration, and later re-opened, the concentration
of phosphine in the work area can rise as a result of
gassing-off of phosphine from the treated commodity.
Based on the reentry studies, the Agency concluded that a
limit of less than 0.1 ppm was feasible and imposed
this limit in the February 1986 amended standards. On the
assumption that no exposure would occur, EPA waived all
chronic toxicity data.

However, new information has been submitted which shows
that exposure to phosphine gas can occur during application.
Surveys conducted by the National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health at three grain elevators in 1985 demonstrated
a wide range of exposures. In one elevator, where ventilation
was poor, exposures ranged from 0.23 ppm to 1.08 ppm as a
time weighted average (TWA), in general exceeding the Occupa-
tional Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) permissible
exposure limit (PEL) of 0.3 ppm (8 hour time weighted average).
In a second elevator, where ventilation was better, exposures
ranged from 0.01 ppm to 0.77 ppm TWA. In a third elevator,
with good ventilation, no phosphine was detected. Data
submitted by Quaker Oats Company and Phillip Morris Company
also show exposures occurring during various types of
fumigation.^ The Agency is also aware that exposures can
occur during transfer and handling of treated commodities.
With the knowledge that exposure to phosphine gas
can occur during fumigation and transfer and handling of
treated commodities, the Agency has re-examined the need
for chronic toxicity and exposure data. The current OSHA
PEL of 0.3 ppm as an 8 hour time weighted average (TWA) is
apparently based on subchronic data showing no deaths in
animals exposed to 2.5 ppm phosphine several hours per
day for 28 weeks. However, these animals exhibited serious
toxic effects in several organs at this level. The Agency
has concluded that the available data are not adequate to
establish a no observed effect level (NOEL) for phosphine.
The following toxicity testing for phosphine is required: a
90 day subchronic inhalation study in rats, an inhalation
teratology study in one species and a battery of mutageni-
city studies. To quantify exposures to phosphine which may
occur, worker/applicator monitoring studies are required
for major use sites. These toxicity and exposure studies
will be used to assess the margins of safety of worker expo-
sures to phosphine and to determine whether the interim
exposure standards described in Section II.B.9. are adequate
to protect workers. Another objective of the studies is to
attempt to develop short exposure limits (SEL's) which might
allow shorter exposures at higher concentrations than cur-
rently permitted by the OSHA PEL. Protocols for the toxico-
logy and exposure studies must be submitted to the Agency
for review prior to initiation of studies.
6. Restricted use Classification
End-use pesticides containing aluminum or magnesium
phosphide are classified for restricted use and may be applied
only by or in the physical presence of an applicator certified
in an approporiate category. All training programs leading
to certification of applicators must be reviewed and, if
1 These data were submitted and entered into EPA Public
Docket #D-05640.

-10-
necessary, upgraded. The upgraded training must include
classroom training utilizing comprehensive training manuals
and provide on-the-job training or "hands on" experience.
State, Indian tribes and Federal agency programs for the
certification of applicators will necessarily be upgraded
because of changes in the supporting training.
It is the responsibility of the certified applicator
to properly instruct the noncertified applicator under his
supervision in proper preparation and application procedures,
emphasizing the hazards to human health and appropriate
safety precautions. The product manual which accompanies
the applicable product label will be utilized in training
non-certified applicators. The actual physical presence of
a certified applicator during use of these products is required,
Rationale; The use of aluminum or magnesium phosphide results
in release of phosphine, a highly toxic gas. Because of the
potential hazard to humans and nontarget organisms and because
of the need for the applicator to be knowledgeable about the
extensive label requirements, the pesticide will remain
classified as a restricted use pesticide consistent with
40 CFR 154.7.
Applicators who supervise application of aluminum and
magnesium phosphide must be certified in an appropriate
category by a State or Indian tribe or Federal agency under
a plan approved by EPA as required by 40 CFR 171. EPA
recognizes that training materials and programs leading to
certification may be in need of improvement, including the
need for revised training manuals and requiring hands on
experience and/or training. Accordingly, EPA, with the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, is sponsoring a train-the-trainer
national fumigation workshop in September 1987. Concurrently
with the train-the-trainer workshop, EPA will, in cooperation
with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, State Cooperative
Extension Services, State pesticide regulatory agencies and
other public and private groups, develop upgraded training
packages addressing the safe and effective use of these
and other fumigants. An EPA approved product manual will be
included as part of the product label. Persons working with
these products and applying these materials in the physical
presence of a certified applicator are required to be trained
in accordance with the product manual.
7. Ecological Effects on Non-Target Organisms
Ecological effects data are not required to register or
reregister products under this amended standard. However,
standardized environmental hazard statements are required for
MUPs and special hazard statements are required to protect
certain endangered species for those EUPs recommended for
the control of rodents. These statements are prescribed in
Section II.F.2. of this amended standard.
-------
-11-
Rationale; The Agency routinely requires that ecological
effects data be developed with the technical grade of the
active ingredient of a pesticide, if it is feasible to
develop such data in accordance with EPA guidelines. The
results of the data developed with the TGAI determine the
appropriate environmental hazard statements required for
labels of MUPs, consistent with 40 CFR 162.10(h)(2)(ii).
In the case of aluminum or magnesium phosphide,
development of these data with the TGAI is not required
because the phosphine gas which is liberated from the pesti-
cide when it is exposed to air is highly toxic.
Thus, on the basis that phosphine is a highly toxic
gas to a wide range of living organisms, the Agency is pres-
cribing environmental hazard statements for MUPs and special
precautionary labeling to protect endangered species for
EUPs recommended for rodent control. These statements
appear in Section II.F.2. of this standard.
EUPs which are recommended solely for indoor use
(fumigation of sealed areas, structures, or containers
loaded with commodities) are not required to bear environ-
mental hazard statements on their labels because indoor
uses do not pose a risk to non-target organisms.
8. Environmental Fate
The 1981 standard required that hydrolysis, volatility
and reentry data be submitted to assess the environmental
fate of aluminum or magnesium phosphide for the registered
uses. The Agency has reviewed this information from regis-
trants responding to the 1981 standard and has concluded
that aluminum or magnesium phosphide products may be regis-
tered or reregistered provided registrants comply with the
applicable disposal statements and the revised and expanded
labeling requirements prescribed in this amended standard.
Rationale; Phosphine gas liberated from aluminum or magnes-
ium phosphide eventually dissipates into the atmosphere.
The resulting residue is aluminum hydroxide, a relatively
inert and innocuous material which is a common constituent
of clay. Additionally, spent pellets, tablets or product
in moisture permeable envelopes may be disposed of by
burial in a sanitary landfill. Sometimes the aluminum or
magnesium phosphide formulation is not completely reacted
when it is removed from a fumigated area. This "green"
material (a dust or product in bags or envelopes) may be
deactivated and disposed of safely as long as the label
procedures are followed.

9. Applicator and Worker Exposure
Until required toxicology and exposure data are received
and reviewed, applicators and workers may be exposed to no
more than 0.3 ppm phosphine (8 hour TWA) during appli-
cation and to no more than 0.3 ppm phosphine (maximum con-
centration) at any time after application. The application
and monitoring procedures described below are required to
assure that these exposure limits are not exceeded. If the
exposure limits are exceeded, steps roust be taken to either
reduce the exposure or to provide adequate respiratory
protection.
Rationale; Aluminum or magnesium phosphide reacts slowly with
moisture in the air. Prior to this amended standard, the
Agency believed that this relatively slow reaction would
allow the applicator enough time to place the pesticide at
the desired location and to vacate the area without being
exposed to significant concentrations of phosphine gas.
The Agency's only concern was whether a fumigated area would
be adequately aerated prior to reentry. However, as discus-
sed above in Section II.B.5., new data show that exposure
can occur during application of the fumigant, especially
in confined spaces where ventilation is poor. Also, the
Agency is now aware of incidents of exposure to workers and
inspectors involved with the transfer or handling of treated
commodities.
Until adequate toxicology and exposure data are
developed to accurately determine safe levels to phosphine
gas, the Agency is adopting on an interim basis the OSHA
PEL of 0.3 ppm phosphine (8 hour TWA) for applicators and
workers during application. Application is defined as the
time period covering opening the first container, applying
the appropriate dosage of the fumigant and closing up the
site to be fumigated. All persons in the treated site
and in adjacent indoor areas are covered by this exposure
standard. Employers of the applicators and workers are
encouraged to use engineering controls, such as forced air
ventilation, as the primary means of maintaining exposure
below the standard.
-------
-13-
If the fumigant is applied from outside of a confined
or enclosed space the applicator may place the fumigant
and immediately leave the area without being exposed to
levels of phosphine which exceed the standard. Examples
include a railroad car or automatic dispenser located
outside of an enclosed area. Because exposure to phosphine
is likely to be less than the exposure standard of 0.3 ppm
(8 hour TWA), neither monitoring nor use of respiratory
protection equipment is necessary during application from
outside a confined space.
When the fumigant is applied from within a confined
space, phosphine gas may accumulate and levels may exceed
0.3 ppm (8 hour TWA). Therefore, applications within a
confined space must be monitored. A sufficient number of
samples should be taken in places where worker exposure is
likely to occur in order to establish that the exposure
standard is not exceeded. If monitoring equipment is not
available, such as on a farm, an approved canister respira-
tor must be worn during application from within a confined
space. If an approved respirator is not available, appli-
cation must be done from outside the site to be fumigated.
It is recommended that the applicator or employer
document exposure readings in an operation log or manual
for each fumigation site. Once exposures have been adequately
characterized for a particular site, subsequent monitoring
is not routinely required for each application. However,
spot checks should be made, especially if conditions signi-
ficantly change (such as temperature, humidity, etc.) or
if a garlic odor is detected. If 0.3 ppm or less phosphine
is detected, no respiratory protection is required even
if a garlic odor has been previously detected. If more
than 0.3 ppm is detected in the worker's breathing zone,
the area must be immediately ventilated until a subsequent
reading (15 minutes later) is at or below 0.3 ppm phosphine.
Otherwise, the area must be vacated or approved respiratory
protection worn as described below.
If the exposure limits cannot be met through engineer-
ing controls, respiratory protection must be worn. A
NIOSH/MSHA approved full face canister respirator may be
used at levels up to 15 ppm for entry and up to 1500 ppm
for escape from a confined space. To enter a confined space
with phosphine above 15 ppm or at unknown levels, Self
Contained Breathing Apparatus (positive air pressure
type) must be used. The NIOSH/OSHA Pocket Guide, 8-85,
DHEW/NIOSH 78-210 also lists other types of approved respi-
-------
-14-
rators and their approved limits. If the fumigant is
applied from within an enclosed area, a canister respirator
must be available at the site. When applicators are apply-
ing fumigant from within a confined space, self contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) must be available either at the
site or locally (i.e., fire station, rescue squad) for use
in certain emergency situations such as spills, leaks or
rescues where levels of phosphine are above 15 ppm or
unknown. Two trained persons must be present if applica-
tion is done within a confined space or during reentry
into an unaerated space.
After application, exposure of any person to phosphine
may not at any time exceed 0.3 ppm (maximum concentration).
Such exposures may occur if the commodity or space under
fumigation leaks, when treated commodity is transferred or
handled, if someone reenters an unaerated or partially
aerated space, etc. Monitoring should be performed as
described for application to assure that this exposure
limit is not exceeded. If exposures cannot be reduced to
acceptable levels, the same respiratory protection require-
ments apply as during application.
Because phosphine gas is highly mobile and may pene-
trate seemingly gas-tight materials such as concrete and
cinder block, adjacent indoor areas likely to be occupied
must be checked for leaks. Sealing of the fumigated site
and/or airflow in the occupied areas must be sufficient to
meet the exposure limit of 0.3 ppm (maximum concentration).
A treated commodity does not necessarily need to be
aerated immediately, as it may be desirable to store a
treated commodity for a long period without aeration.
However, a space or commodity must be aerated to 0.3 ppm or
less phosphine in the worker's breathing zone before reentry
is allowed. Reentry at higher levels requires the use of
an appropriate respirator.
Worker exposure during storage, transfer and handling
of a treated commodity (raw, processed or finished) is
covered by the exposure limit of 0.3 ppm (maximum concen-
tration). Although reentry normally applies to a person
entering a treated area, in this case a treated commodity
may enter the workplace, resulting in the same potential
for exposure as normal reentry. Monitoring must be con-
ducted to establish that the exposure limit is not exceeded
at any time during these activities.
-------
-15-
10. Placarding
All entrances to a fumigated site must be placarded
(except as noted below for railroad hopper cars). Placards
should be placed in advance of the fumigation where possible.
Placards are required for each fumigated site (such as
a bin or railroad car) for all registered commodities (raw,
processed and finished products). A placard may only be
removed after the commodity is completely aerated. To deter-
mine whether aeration is complete, each fumigated site or
vehicle must be monitored and shown to contain 0.3 ppm or
less phosphine gas in the air pocket around and in the mass
of the commodity. It is recommended that only a trained
person conduct the monitoring for phosphine gas. If more
than 0.3 ppm phosphine is detected, the placard must be
transferred from one site to another. Persons transferring
or handling the commodity must be informed if more than 0.3
ppm is detected and appropriate measures taken to assure
that they are not exposed to more than 0.3 ppm phosphine
(maximum concentration).
Rationale; All entrances to a fumigated area must be placard-
ed in order to inform all persons of when and where the
fumigation will take place, who is responsible and whom
should be contacted in event of emergency. Where possible,
placards should be placed in advance of the fumigation in order
to keep unauthorized persons away. For railroad hopper
cars, placarding must placed on both sides of the car near
the ladders and next to the top hatch into which the fumigant
is introduced.
In order to prevent worker exposures over 0.3 ppm (maximum
concentration), a placard may only be removed after a commodity
is completely aerated. Complete aeration must be determined by
monitoring each site (for example, each bin or railroad car)
in the air space and in the commodity mass. If 0.3 ppm or
less phosphine is detected, the placard may be removed.
However, if more than 0.3 ppm is detected, the placard must
be transferred with the commodity. Workers who transfer or
handle incompletely aerated commodity must be informed and
appropriate measures taken (i.e., ventilation or respiratory
protection) to prevent exposures from exceeding 0.3 ppm.
It is recommended that the person removing the placard
be trained. Training should cover physical, chemical and
toxicological properties of phosphine; how to take gas
readings; the exposure limits for phosphine; and symptoms
of and first aid treatment for poisoning. The training
should include "hands on" experience from an experienced
fumigator.
-------
-16-
11. Ground Water Contamination
Use of aluminum or magnesium phosphide is unlikely to
contribute to groundwater contamination. Labeling pertaining
to potential groundwater contamination is not necessary.
Rationale: The patterns of use for aluminum or magnesium phos-
phide are as an indoor fumigant for sealed structures or
vehicles and for outdoor rodent or mole control. There is
no likelihood of contamination of ground water from these
uses. The same rationale stated in Section II.B.8. above
supports this position.
12. Tolerance Reassessment
Tolerances have been reassessed and are adequate for the
protection of the public. Tolerances in the United States
are listed in 40 CFR §180.225 for aluminum phosphide and
in 40 CFR §180.377 for magnesium phosphide.
Tolerances have been established for aluminum and magnesium
phosphide in processed foods (21 CFR §193.20 and §193.225) and
animal feeds (21 CFR §561.40 and §561.268) for residues of
phosphine. Such residues may not exceed 0.01 ppm on pro-
cessed foods and 0.1 ppm on animal feed.
Finished food and feed must be aerated 48 hours prior to
being offered to the consumer; tobacco fumigated in hogsheads
must be aerated 72 hours. Registrants or users who would
like approval for shorter aeration periods based on forced
air ventilation may submit residue data conducted in accor-
dance with the Agency's guidelines.
Tolerances are established for residues of phosphine in
or on all raw agricultural commodities at 0.01 ppm resulting
from preharvest treatment of pest burrows in agricultural and
noncropland areas with aluminum or magnesium phosphide (40 CFR
§180.225 and §180.377).
Although not officially accepted, CODEX has recommended
phosphine tolerances as follows:
Commodity Residue in ppm
Cereals, raw °-l
Breakfast cereals 0.01
Flour and other milled products 0.01
Dried Vegetables °-01
Spices °-01
In Canada, residues of phosphine in excess of 0.1 ppm
are not permitted in raw cereals, soybeans, processed food,
or animal feeds.
-------
-17-
Rationale; The 1981 standards allowed the established toler-
ances on condition that certain unidentified residues in
treated commodities be fully identified, at which time the
Agency would re-evaluate the existing tolerances.
As noted in the 1981 standards for aluminum and magnesium
phosphide, under typical fumigation conditions, phosphine
reacts with raw agricultural commodities to form irreversibly
bound residues in the treated commodities, and probably with
most processed foods and feeds. These data also indicated
that these irreversibly bound residues are quantitatively
dependent on the conditions of fumigation.
Thus, under conditions typical for the fumigation of
wheat, such residues ranged in amounts from 3-5 ppm. In
1981, only about 70% of the total bound residues were identi-
fied as the oxy-acids of phosphorus (phosphoric, phosphorus
and hypophosphorus) and the Agency determined that these resi-
dues were toxicologically insignificant.
The Agency indicated that the identity of the remain-
ing residues (0.7 ppm, about 30% of the total) constituted a
significant data gap. Nevertheless, the Agency decided to
allow the established tolerances pending submission and
evaluation of the necessary data, as a preliminary step
to reassessing the established tolerances for aluminum
and magnesium phosphide.
Submitted data indicate that the formerly unidentified
residues are oxidation products from phosphine, i.e. phos-
phorus oxy-acids and/or their salts. Based on these data,
the Agency has determined that these residues also are toxi-
cologically insignificant. Therefore, no further residue
data are required to support the established tolerances
for aluminum or magnesium phosphide.
D. Criteria for Registration Under This Amended Standard
To be subject to this standard, products must contain
aluminum or magnesium phosphide as the only active ingredient,
conform to the product composition, acute toxicity limits,
use pattern requirements, and the required labeling as pre-
scribed in various sections of this standard, in addition to
those prescribed in Section II.F. of this standard.
-------
-18-
Applicants for registration or reregistration of aluminum
or magnesium phosphide products subject to this amended stan-
dard must comply with all terras and conditions described,
including submission of an up-to-date Confidential Statement
of Formula, submission of revised labeling, and a commitment to
satisfy the applicable data requirements appearing in the
data tables at the end of this regulatory chapter. Registrants
should note that certain product specific chemistry data must
be submitted for all products registered or reregistered
under this standard.
Registrants who do not qualify for the formulator's
exemptionV must satisfy the applicable generic data
requirements by submitting or citing data for unregistered
technical grade of aluminum phosphide.
E. Acceptable Ranges and Limits
1. Product Composition
a. MUPs
Currently there are no products registered as MUPs
with aluminum or magnesium phosphide as the sole active
ingredient. Products proposed for registration may consist
solely of the technical grade of the active ingredient or
they may consist of the TGAI plus other deliberately added
inert ingredients in formulations which are similar or iden-
tical to those which have been registered as EUPs.
However, only those deliberately added inert ingredients
which are exempt from the requirement of a tolerance are
acceptable in products which are recommended to be mixed
directly with commodities. See 40 CFR §180.1001. If an
MUP is to be formulated or repackaged into an EUP which is
intended solely as a space fumigant, the or inert ingredients
need not be exempt from the requirement of a tolerance.
b. EUPs
To be registered or reregistered under this standard,
end-use products must contain only aluminum or magnesium phos-
phide as the active ingredient (at any specified concentration)
and impurities derived from the TGAI. products. Given the
instability of aluminum or magnesium phosphide and the registered
patterns of use, it is not practical or desirable to register a
I/ To qualify for the formulator's exemption and not be
~ obligated to address the generic data requirements of
this standard, a registrant must purchase a registered
source of the active ingredient contained in his/her
product. Since all of the currently registered products
containing aluminum or magnesium phosphide are formulated
none of the current registrants qualify for the formulator's
exemption.
-------
-19-
product for end use which consists solely of the technical
grade of aluminum or magnesium phosphide. End use products
intended solely as space fumigants may contain impurities
from the TGAI, and deliberately added inert ingredients which
are not exempt from the requirement of a tolerance. However,
EUPs which are recommended to be mixed directly with agricul-
tural food commodities may only contain inert ingredients which
are exempt from the requirement of a tolerance.
2. Acute Toxicity Limits
EPA will only consider MUPs and EUPs containing aluminum
or magnesium phosphide for registration or reregistration
under this standard in Toxicity Category I, the highest
toxicity category.
3. Use Patterns
MUPs will be considered for registration provided their
labels specify that they are for use in formulating EUPs only
for the use patterns currently registered for these pesticides.
Labels for MUPs must specify the types of products which may
be formulated from them, e.g., insecticide (commodity fumigant)
and rodenticide; and they must identify the registered use
patterns. EUPs will be registered or reregistered in the
form of discs, plates, pellets or tablets for one or more of
the following uses:
a. Food/Feed, Nondomestic, Indoor Use (raw agricultural
commodities)
b. Food/Feed, Nondomestic, Indoor Use (animal feed)
c. Food/Feed, Nondomestic, Indoor Use (processed
commodities)
d. Nonfood/Nonfeed and Food/Feed , Nondomestic, Outdoor
Use (rodent control)
A comprehensive description of application rates, sites,
pests and limitations for the approved uses of aluminum
phosphide can be found in the EPA Indexes to Pesticide Chemicals
for Aluminum and Magnesium Phosphide, EPA 1981.
-------
-20-
F. Required Labeling
Besides complying with the general labeling requirements
of Section 162.10 of 40 CFR, MUPs and EUPs containing aluminum
or magnesium phosphide must comply with certain additional
lableling requirements imposed by this part of the amended
standard.
The Agency has reviewed data submitted by registrants in
response to the 1981 standard and has also taken into con-
sideration relevant comments and data received in 1986. EPA
has concluded that the labels for aluminum or magnesium phos-
phide products must be further modified to minimize the
potential hazards which these products may pose to humans and
non-target organisms. These labeling requirements supersede
those which were previously prescribed by the Label Improvement
Notice which was issued for all fumigants as PR Notice 84-5
on November 15, 1984. This part of the amended standard
specifies the current labeling requirements for registration
or reregistration of aluminum or magnesium phosphide products
under this amended standard. Products in channels of trade
must bear revised labeling complying with this standard no
later March 31, 1987. Registrants must submit draft labeling
for approval no later than October 31, 1986.
1. Precautionary Statements
The following precautionary statements are required on
labeling for products containing aluminum of magnesium phos-
phide. Registrants should note that although all of these
requirements apply to EUPs, only certain of them apply to MUPs.
Those that apply to both types of products are so indicated;
those that apply only to EUPs are indicated.
a. Restricted Use Statement (EUPs only; on label and in
product manual)
The following restricted use classification statement and
accessory restrictive statements must appear prominently
displayed on the front panel of all EUPs containing aluminum
or magnesium phosphide:

KEEP OUT OF REACH Ob' CHILDREN ^EUP's only]
DANGER - POISON
Aluminum or magnesium phosphide powder, granules or
tablets may be fatal if swallowed. Do not get in eyes,-
on skin or on clothing. Do not eat, drink or smoke
while handling aluminum or magnesium phosphide fumiyants.
If a sealed container is opened, or if the material
comes in contact with moisture, water or acids, extremely
toxic phosphine gas will be released. If a garlic odor
is detected, you must monitor to determine whether
phosphine gas is present above the acceptable exposure
limits (see section on respiratory protection). Since
an odor may not be detected under certain circumstances,
the absence of a garlic odor does not mean that pho^hine
-------
-22-
gas is absent. Observe proper application, aeration,
reentry and disposal procedures specified elsewhere in
the labeling to prevent overexposure.
e. Practical Treatment Statement (located on front panel
for MUPs and EUPs and in the product manual)
Symptoms of overexposure to phosphine are headache,
dizziness, nausea, difficult breathing, vomiting and
diarrhea. In all cases of overexposure get medical
attention immediately. Take victim to a doctor or
emergency treatment facility.
If the gas from aluminum or magnesium phosphide is
inhaled; Get exposed person to fresh air. Keep warm
and make sure person can breathe freely. If breathing
has stopped, give artificial respiration by mouth-to-
mouth or other means of resuscitation. Do not give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
If aluminum or magnesium phosphide powder, granules, or
tablets are swallowed; Drink or administer one or two
glasses of water and induce vomiting by touching back
of throat with finger, or if available, syrup of ipecac.
Do not give anything by mouth if victim is unconscious
or not alert.
If powder, granules or tablets of aluminum or magnesium
phosphide get on skin; Brush material off clothes and
shoes in a well ventilated area. Allow clothes to
aerate in a ventilated area prior to laundering. Wash
contaminated bare skin thoroughly with soap and water.
If in eyes; flush with plenty of water. Get medical
attention.
f. Note to Physician (located in a separate paragraph
with human hazard statements on the label for MUPs and
EUPs and in product manual)
Aluminum or magnesium phosphide granules, powder or tablets
react with moisture in the air, acids and many other
liquids to release phosphine gas. Mild exposure by
inhalation causes malaise, ringing of ears, fatique,
nausea, and pressure in the chest which is relieved by
removal to fresh air.
Moderate poisoning causes causes weakness, vomiting,
epigastric pain, chest pain, diarrhea and dyspnea.
Severe poisoning may occur in a few hours to several
days, resulting in pulmonary edema and may lead to
dizziness, cyanosis, unconsciousness and death.

-23-
Severe poisoning nay occur in a few hours to several
days, resulting in pulmonary edema and may lead to
dizziness, cyanosis, unconsciousness and death.
In sufficient quantity, phosphine affects the liver,
kidneys, lungs, nervous system and circulatory system.
Inhalation can cause lung edema and hyperemia, small
perivascular brain hemorrhages and brain edema. Ingestion
can cause lung and brain symptoms, but damage to the
viscera is more common. Phosphine poisoning may result
in (1) pulmonary edema; (2) liver elevated serum GOT,
LDH and alkaline phosphatase, reduced prothrombin,
hemorrhage and jaundice; and (3) kidney hematuria
and anuria. Pathology is characteristic of hypoxia.
Frequent exposure over a period of days or weeks may
cause poisoning. Treatment is symptomatic.
[The remaining items must appear either on the label
or in the produt manual. The product manual is considered
supplemental labeling and must be submitted and approved by
the Agency before distributed in channels of trade].
g. Directions for Use; (EUPs only; on label or in
product manual)
This fumigant is a highly hazardous material and
may only be used by individuals trained in its
proper use. Before using, read and follow all
precautions and directions on the label and in the
product manual.
Persons applying this fumigant must complete an EPA
approved training program for fumigants.
At least two trained persons must be present when it
is applied from within a confined space or during
reentry into a fumigated or partially aerated site.
Prior to applying this product, you must inspect the site
to be fumigated to determine if it can be made sufficiently
gas tight. You should also develop a plan for monitoring
(if not done before), how to most efficiently and safely
apply the fumigant, emergency procedures, etc. Notify
appropriate company employees and local officials having
jurisdiction (fire department, rescue squad, police.
etc.) over the fumigation site. Follow all local and
state regulations.
-------
-24-
Shipholds, barges, containers on ships railroad cars and
containers shipped piggyback by rail may be fumigated
in transit. However, trucks, vans trailers and similar
transport vehicles cannot be moved until the fumigation
is completed.
Do not fumigate commodities with this product when
commodity temperature is below 40° F (5° C). [Regis-
trants must specify the number of d^ys required for
efficacious fumigation for various temperature ranges.
For example, commodity at 40°-49°—at least X days,
commodity at 50-59°—at least Y days, etc.]
[Specific use directions follow. The registrant must
provide complete step-by-step directions for each use
site—for example, railcar fumigation, warehouses and
mills, tarpaulin fumigation, ships, trucks, etc. Use
directions may appear on the label and/or in the product
manual. Illustrations or pictures may be used to
demonstrate application methods.]
h. Protective Clothing (for EUPs only on label or in
product manual)
Wear dry gloves when handling unpackaged tablets
or pellets. Wash hands thoroughly after use before
smoking or eating.
i. Applicator and Worker Exposure (for EUPs only; on
label or in product manual)
Depending upon temperature and humidity, this product
will release phosphine gas slowly upon exposure to
moisture from the air. However, because of the poten-
tial for applicators and workers to be exposed to
phosphine gas during fumigation, the following exposure
limits and respiratory protection requirements apply.
Exposure to phosphine gas may not exceed 0.3 ppro
measured as an 8 hour time-weighted average (TWA) for
applicators and workers during application. Application
is defined as the time period covering the opening of
the first container, applying the appropriate dosage of
fumigant and closing up the site to be fumigated. All
persons in the treated site and in adjacent indoor
areas are covered by this exposure standard. Engineer-
ing controls such as forced air ventilation should be
the primary means used to meet this exposure standard.
-------
-25-
It the fumigant is applied from outside of a confined
or enclosed space (for example, a railroad car or an
automatic dispenser located outside of an enclosed
area), the applicator may apply the tumigant and immed-
iately leave the area without being exposed to gas
levels in excess of the standard. Therefore, neither
monitoring nor respiratory protection equipment is needed
during fumigation from outside a confined space, such as
addition of fumigant to automatic dispensing devices
located outdoors, to burrows of rodents or moles away
from buildings, to railroad cars located outside, etc.
If the applicator enters a confined or enclosed
space to fumigate, monitoring with a low level detection
device is necessary. It is recommended that a sufficient
number of readings must be taken where worker exposure
is likely to occur in order to establish that the
exposure standard is not exceeded. Adjacent indoor
areas likely to be occupied should be checked tor
leaks. If monitoring equipment is not available, such
as at a farm site, an approved canister respirator
must be worn for indoor application. If an approved
respirator is not available, application must be done
from outside of the site to be fumigated.
It is recommended that the applicator or employer
document exposure readings in an operaton log or manual
for each fumigation site. Once exposures have been
adequately characterized for a site, subsequent moni-
toring is not routinely required for each application.
However, spot checks should be made, especially it
conditions significantly change or if a garlic odor is
detected. If 0.3 ppm or less phosphine is detected,
no respiratory protection is required even if a garlic
odor had been previously detected. If more than 0.3
ppm phosphine is detected in the worker's breathing
space, the area must be ventilated until a subsequent
reading (15 minutes later) is at or below 0.3 ppm.
Otherwise, the area must be vacated or approved resp-
iratory protection worn as described below.
If the exposure limits cannot be met through engineering
controls (such as forced air ventilation), a full-face
canister respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for aluminum
or magnesium phosphide must be worn. This respirator
may be used to enter an area with levels up to 15 ppm
or to escape an~a^e¥ with levels up to 1500 ppm. Above
-------
-26-
these levels or where levels are unknown, a NIOSH/MSHA
approved self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA),
positive air pressure type, must be used. The NIOSH/OSHA
Pocket Guide, 8-85, DHEW/NIOSH 78-210 lists these and
other types of approved respirators and their limits.
A NIOSH/MSHA approved full-face canister respirator must
be available on site if the fumigant is applied from
within an enclosed area. When the fumigant is applied
from within a confined space, an SCBA respirator must
also be available either on site or locally such as at a
fire station or rescue squad. The SCBA is needed in
the event that a spill, leak or rescue situation arises
where the level of phosphine gas exceeds 15 ppm or is
unknown. Two trained persons must be present during
application indoors or during reentry into an unaerated
space.
After application, exposure for any person may not exceed
0.3 ppm phosphine (maximum concentration). Such exposures
may occur if the commodity or space under fumigation leaks,
when treated commodity is transferred or handled, if
someone reenters an unaerated or partialy aerated space,
etc. Monitoring should be performed as described above
to assure that this exposure limit is not exceeded. If
exposures cannot be reduced to acceptable levels, the same
respiratory protection requrements apply as above.
Because phosphine gas is highly mobile and may penetrate
seemingly gas-tight materials such as concrete and cinder
block, adjacent indoor areas likely to be occupied must
be checked for leaks. Sealing of the fumigated site and/or
airflow in the occupied-areas must be sufficient to meet
the exposure limit of 0.3 ppm (maximum concentration).
A treated commodity does not necessarily need to be
aerated immediately, as it may be desirable to store it
for a long period without aeration. However, a space or
commodity must be aerated to 0.3 ppm or less phosphine
in the worker's breathing zone before reentry is allowed.
Reentry at higher levels requires the use of an approved
respirator (see approved respirators described above).
Worker exposure during storage, transfer and handling of
a treated commodity (raw, processed or finished) is
covered by the exposure limit of 0.3 ppm (maximum concen-
tration). Monitoring must be conducted as previously
described to prevent overexposure at any time during these
activities.
-------
-27-
[The registrant must identify the specific monitoring
devices recommended to determine the levels of phosphine
in the work area and provide or reference instructions
for their use. The registrant may also identify specific
respirators to be used with the fumigant].
Placarding of Areas (for EUPs only; on label or in
product manual)
The applicator must placard or post all entrances to the
fumigated area with signs bearing:
1. The signal word DANGER/PELIGRO and the SKULL and
CROSSBONES symbol in red.
2. The statement, "Commodity under fumigation, DO NOT
ENTER/NO ENTRE".
3. The statement, "This sign may only be removed after
the commodity is completely aerated (contains 0.3 ppm
or less phosphine gas). If incompletely aerated
commodity is transferred to a new site, the new
site must also be placarded and workers must not be
exposed to more than 0.3 ppm phosphine."
4. The date and time fumigation begins and is completed.
5. Name of fumigant used.
6. Name, address and telephone number of the applicator.
All entrances to a fumigated area must be placarded.
Where possible, placards should be placed in advance
of the fumigation in order to keep unauthorized persons
away. For railroad hopper cars, placarding must be placed
on both sides of the car near the ladders and next to
the top hatch into which the fumigant is introduced.
Do not remove a placard until the treated commodity is
completely aerated. Complete aeration must be deter-
mined by monitoring each site (for example, each bin
or railroad car) in the air space and in the commodity
mass. If 0.3 ppm or less phosphine is detected, the
placard may be removed. However, if more than 0.3 ppm
is detected, the placard must be transferred with the
commodity to the new site. Workers who transfer or
handle incompletely aerated commodity must be informed
and appropriate measures must be taken (i.e., ventila-
tion or respiratory protection) to prevent exposures
from exceeding 0.3 ppm phosphine.
-------
-28-
It is recommended that the person removing the placard
be trained. Training should cover physical, chemical
and toxicological properties of phosphine; how to
take gas readings; the exposure limits for phosphine;
and symptoms of and first aid treatment for poisoning.
k. Aeration of Fumigated Commodities for Tolerance Purposes
(EUP only; on label or in product manual)
The following statement is required on labeling for
aluminum or magnesium phosphide products recommended
for fumigation of foods/feeds and tobacco to prevent the
established tolerances from being exceeded:
Tolerances for phosphine residues have been established
at 0.1 ppm for animal feeds and 0.01 ppm for finished
foods. To assure compliance with these tolerances, it
is necessary to aerate these commodities 48 hours prior
to offering them to the end consumer. Tobacco must be
aerated for at least three days when fumigated in
hogsheads. As an alternative to these aeration periods,
each container of a treated commodity may be analyzed
for residues using accepted analytical methods. If
residues are less than tolerance levels, the commodity
may be shipped to the consumer regardless of the above
holding periods.
1. Storage and Handling (MUPs and EUPs)
Store in a dry, well ventilated area away from heat,
under lock and key. Post as a pesticide storage
area. Do not contaminate water, food or feed by
storing pesticides in the same areas used to store
these commodities. Do not store in buildings inhabited
by humans or domestic animals.
m. Disposal Statements (MUPs and EUPs)
[Label statments must conform to the requirements of
PR Notice 83-3, March 29, 1983. They must also be
appropriate for the type of pesticide and size and
type of the container.]
The following statements are suggested. Registrants
may submit alternative label language for consideration.
-------
-29-
(1) General Disposal statements (MUPs and EUPs)
Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage
or disposal.
Unreacted or partially reacted aluminum or magnesium
phosphide is acutely hazardous. Improper disposal of
excess pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is a
violation of Federal Law. If these wastes cannot be
disposed of by use according to label instructions,
contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control
Agency, of the Hazardous Waste representative at the
nearest EPA Regional Office of guidance. For specific
instructions, see Spill and Leak Procedures.
Some local and state waste disposal regulations may
vary from the following recommendations. Disposal
procedures should be reviewed with appropriate
authorities to ensure compliance with local regulations.
Contact your state Pesticide or Environmental Control
Agency or Hazardous Waste Specialist at the nearest
EPA Regional Office tor guidance.
Triple rinse flasks and stoppers with water. Then offer
for recycling or reconditioning, or puncture and dispose
of in a sanitary landfill, or by other procedures approved
by state and local authorities. Rinsate may be disposed
of in a sanitary sewer, sanitary landfill or by other
approved procedures. It is also permissible to remove
lids and expose empty flasks outdoors until residue
in the flasks is reacted. Then puncture and dispose
of in a sanitary landfill or other approved site, or
by other procedures approved by state and local authori-
ties .
If properly exposed, the residual dust remaining after
a fumigation with aluminum or magnesium phosphide will
be grayish-white and contain only a small amount of
unreacted material. However, residual dust from
incompletely exposed aluminum or magnesium phosphide
will require special care.
(2) Directions for Disposal of Spent Residue from
Aluminum or Magnesium Phosphide (EUPs only; on label
or in product manual)
In open areas, small amounts of completely spent
residual dust may be disposed of on site by burial or
by spreading over the land surface away from inhabited
buildings.
-------
-30-
Spent residual dust, bags or other packaging containing
spent aluminum or magnesium phosphide may also be
collected and disposed of at a sanitary landfill,
incinerator or other approved sites or by other proce-
dures approved by federal, state or local authorities.
For 2 to 3 kg (4 to 7 Ibs) of spent dust from 2 to 3
flasks of aluminum or magnesium phosphide may be col-
lected for disposal in a 1-gallon bucket. Larger
amounts, up to about one-half case, may be collected
in burlap, cotton or other types of porous cloth bags
for transportation in an open vehicle to the disposal
site. Do not collect dust from more than 7 flasks of
tablets or 10 flasks of pellets (about 11 kg or 25
Ibs) in a single bag. Do not pile cloth bags together.
Do not collect dust, bags or other types of packaging
in large drums, dumpsters, plastic bags or other
containers where confinement may occur.
(3) Directions for Deactivation of Partially Spent Residues
from Aluminum or Magnesium Phosphide (EUPs only; on
label or in product manual)
Confinement of partially spent residues in a closed
container, or collection and storage of large quanti-
ties of partially spent product may result in a fire
hazard. Small amounts of phosphine may be given off
from unreacted aluminum or magnesium phosphide, and
confinement of the gas may result in a flash.
Partially spent product must be deactivated further
prior to ultimate disposal. This is especially true
in cases of incomplete exposure which has resulted in
so-called "green dust" or following a fumigation
which has produced large quantities of partially
spend material.
Residual dust from aluminum or magnesium phosphide
may be deactivated as follows using the "Wet Method."
Deactivating solution is prepared by adding the
appropriate amount of low sudsing detergent or surface
active agent to water in a drum or other suitable
container. The container should be filled with
deactivating solution to within a few inches of the
top.
-------
-31-
Residual product is poured slowly into the deactivating
solution and stirred so as to thoroughly wet all of the
spent aluminum or magnesium phosphide. This must be
done in the open air and not within an anclosed space.
Residue from aluminum or magnesium phosphide tablets or
pellets should be mixed into no less than about 10
gallons of water-detergent solution for each case of
material used.
Dispose of the deactivated residue-water suspension,
with or without preliminary decanting, at a sanitary
landfill or other suitable site approved by local author-
ities. Where permissible, the slurry may be poured
into a storm sewer or out onto the ground.
Respiratory protection is required during wet deacti-
vation of partially spent material. Do not cover the
container holding the slurry at any time. Do not dispose
of dust in a toilet. Do not allow quantities of dry
product residue from aluminum or magnesium phosphide to
be collected or stored without deactivation.
n. Spill and Leak Procedures (on label of MUPs and EUPs)
A spill, other than incidental to application or normal
handling, may produce high levels of gas and, therefore,
attending personnel must wear SCBA or its equivalent when
the concentration of phosphine gas is unknown. Other
NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection may be worn
if the concentration is known. Do not use water at any
time to clean up a spill of aluminum or magnesium phosphide.
Water in contact with unreacted tablets or pellets will
greatly accelerate the production of phosphine gas which
could result in a toxic and/or fire hazard. Wear cotton
gloves when handling pesticides.
Return all intact aluminum flasks to cardboard cases or
other suitable packaging which has been properly marked
according to DOT regulations. Notify consignee and shipper
of damaged cases.
If aluminum flasks have been punctured or damaged so as
to leak, the container may be temporarily repaired with
aluminum tape or the aluminum or magnesium phosphide may
be transferred from the damaged flask to a sound metal
container which should be sealed and properly labeled
as aluminum or magnesium phosphide. Transport the
damaged containers to an area suitable for pesticide
storage for inspection. Further instructions and recom-
mendations may be obtained, if required, from (company
name).
-------
-32-
If a spill has occurred which is only a few minutes old,
collect the tablets and pellets and place them back into
the original flasks, if they are intact, and stopper
tightly. Place the collected tablets and pellets in a
sound metal container if the original flasks are damaged.
Caution: these flasks may flash upon opening at some
later time.
If the age of the spill is unknown or if the tablets and
pellets have been contaminated with soil, debris, water,
etc. gather up the spillage and place it into small open
buckets having a capacity no larger than about 1 gallon.
Do not add more than about one flask of spilled material,
1 to 1.5 kg (2 to 3 Ibs) , to the bucket. If on-site, wet
deactivation is not feasible, these open containers should
be transported in open vehicles to a suitable area away
from inhabiteed buildings. Wet deactivation may then be
carried out as described under storage and disposal.
If the contaminated material is not completely reacted by
exposure to atmospheric moisture, deactivate the product
by the "Wet Method" as follows:
Deactivating solution is prepared by adding the appropriate
amount of low sudsing detergent or surface active agent to
water in a drum or other suitable container. A 2% solution
or 4 cups in 30 gallons is suggested. The container should
be filled with deactivating solution to within a tew inches
of the top.
The tablets or pellets are poured slowly into the deactivat-
ing solution and stirred so as to thoroughly wet all of
the product. This should be done in the open air.
aluminum or magnesium phosphide tablets or pellets should
be mixed into no less than about 15 gallons of water-deter-
gent solution for each case of spent material.
Allow the mixture to stand, with occasional stirring,
for about 36 hours. The resultant slurry will then
be safe to dispose of.
Dispose of the slurry of deactivated material, with or
without preliminary decanting, at a sanitary landfill or
other suitable site approved by local authorities. Where
permissible, this slurry may be poured into a storm sewer
or out onto the ground.
-------
-33-
Respiratory protection is required during wet deact-
ivation of unexposed product. Never place pellets,
tablets or dust or other formulations in a closed
container such as a dumpster, sealed drum, plastic
bag, etc., as flammable concentrations and a flash
of phosphine gas are likely to develop.
o. Physical/Chemical Hazards (EUP label or product
manual)
Aluminum or magnesium phosphide in tablets, pellets
and partially spent dust will release phosphine gas
if exposed to moisture from the air or if it comes
into contact with water, acids and many other liquids.
Piling of tablets, pellets or dust from their frag-
mentation may cause a temperature increase and
confine the release of gas so that ignition could
occur.
Always open containers of aluminum or magnesium
phosphide products outdoors as under certain condi-
tions, they may flash upon opening. When opening,
point the container away from the face and body and
slowly loosen the cap. Although the chances for
flash are very remote, never open these containers
in a flammable atmosphere. These precautions will
also reduce the applicator's exposure to phosphine
gas.
Pure phosphine gas is practically insoluble in water,
and oils, and is stable at normal fumigation tempera-
tures. However, it may react with certain metals and
cause corrosion, especially at higher temperatures
and relative humidities. Metals such as copper, brass
and other copper alloys, and precious metals such as
gold and silver are susceptible to corrosion by phos-
phine. Thus, small electric motors, smoke detectors,
brass sprinkler heads, batteries and battery chargers,
fork lifts, temperature monitoring systems, switching
gears, communication devices, computers calculators
and other electrical equipment should be protected
or removed before fumigation.
Phosphine gas will also react with certain metallic
salts and, therefore, sensitive items such as photo-
graphic film, some inorganic pigments, etc., should
not be exposed.
-------
-34-
2. Environmental Hazards
a. MUPs
Labels for MUPs containing aluminum or magnesium
phosphide as the active ingredient must bear the following
statements under the appropriate heading as shown below,
consistent with 40 CFR 162.10(h)(2)(ii):
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS; This product is toxic to fish and
wildlife. Do not discharge effluent containing this product
into lakes, streams, ponds, estuaries, oceans, or public
waters, unless this product is specifically identified and
addressed in a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permit. Do not discharge effluent containing
this product to sewer systems without previously notifying
the sewage treatment plant authority. For guidance contact
your State Water Board, or Regional Office of EPA.
b. EUPs
Environmental hazard statements are only required for
end-use pesticides when one or more of the registered uses
poses the same risks as the MUPs, or when they pose addi-
tional risks.
The use of aluminum or magnesium phosphide to fumigate
commodity storage areas or containers does not require
environmental hazard statements because this use is
considered an indoor use. Furthermore, this use does
not pose any risks to nontarget organisms because the
fumigant released by aluminum or magnesium phosphide is a
gas and dissipates into the atmosphere.
The use of aluminum or magnesium phosphide as a roden-
ticide does pose some risk to non-target organisms.
Hence labels for EUPs bearing rodenticidal uses must bear
the following precautionary labeling:
(i) Under the heading "Environmental Hazards":
This product is very highly toxic to wildlife.
Non-target organisms exposed to phosphine gas
in burrows 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.
-------
-35-
(ii) Under the heading "Endangered Species Restrictions"
The use of any pesticide in a manner that may kill
or otherwise harm an endangered or threatened spe-
cies or adversely modify their habitat is a viola-
tion of federal laws. The use of this product is
controlled to prevent death or harm to endangered
or threatened species that occur in the following
counties or elsewhere in their range.

III. PRODUCTS SUBJECT TO THIS STANDARD
All products containing aluminum or magnesium phosphide
are subject to certain requirements for data submission or
changes in composition, labeling or packaging of the product.
The applicable requirements depend on whether the product is
a manufacturing or end use product and whether the pesticide
is the sole active ingredient or one of multiple active
ingredients.
Products are subject to this Registration Standard as
follows:
A. Manufacturing use products containing aluminum or magne-
sium phosphide as the sole active ingredient are subject to:
1. The restrictions (if any) upon use, composition, or
packaging listed in Section II, if they pertain to the
manufacturing use product.
2. The data requirements listed in Tables A and B !
3. The labeling requirements specified for manufacturing
use products in Section II.
4. Administrative requirements (application forms, Confiden-
tial Statement of Formula, data compensation provisions)
associated with reregistration.
1 Data requirements are listed in the two Tables in
Appendix I of this Registration Standard. The Guide to
Tables in that Appendix explains how to read the Tables.
Table A lists generic data requirements applicable to all
products containing aluminum or magnesium phosphide. Table
B lists product-specific data applicable to manufacturing
use products. The data in Tables A and B need not be submitted
by a producer who is eligible for the formulator's exemption.
-------
-38-
B. Manufacturing use products containing aluminum or magne-
sium phosphide in combination with other active ingredients
are subject to:
The data requirements listed in Table A.
C. End use products containing aluminum or magnesium phos-
phide alone or in combination with other active ingredients
are subject to:
1. The restrictions (if any) upon use, composition, or
packaging listed in Section II if they pertain to the
end use product.
2. If not eligible for the formulator's exemption^, the
data requirements listed in Table A.
3. The labeling requirements specified for end use
products in Section II.
1 If you purchase from another producer and use as the
source of your active ingredient only EPA-registered products,
you are eligible for the formulator's exemption for generic
data concerning that active ingredient (Table A) and product-
specific data for the registered manufacturing use product
you purchase (Table B).
Two circumstances nullity this exemption:
1) If you change sources of active ingredient to an
unregistered product, formulate your own active ingredient,
or acquire your active ingredient from a firm with ownership
in common with yours, you lose the exemption and become
subject to the data requirements in Table A.
2) If no producer subject to the generic data requirements
in Table A agrees to submit the required data, all end use
producers lose the exemption, and become subject to those
data requirements.
-------
-39-
IV. REQUIREMENT FOR SUBMISSION OF GENERIC DATA
This portion of the Registration Standard is a notice
issued under the authority of FIFRA sec. 3(c)(2)(B). It
refers to the data listed in Table A, which are required to
be submitted by registrants to maintain in effect the regis-
tration of products containing this active ingredient.1
A. What are generic data?
Generic data pertain to the properties or effects of a
particular active ingredient. Such data are relevant to an
evaluation of all products containing that active ingredient
regardless of whether the product contains other ingredients.
(unless the product bears labeling that would make the data
requirement inapplicable).
Generic data may also be data on a "typical formulation"
of a product. "Typical formulation" testing is often required
for ecological effects studies and applies to all products
having that formulation type. These are classed as generic
data, and are contained in Table A.
B. Who must submit generic data?
All current registrants are responsible for submitting
generic data in response to a data request under FIFRA sec.
3(c)(2)(B) (DCI Notice). EPA has decided, however, not to
require a registrant who qualifies for the formulator's
exemption (FIFRA sec. 3(c)(2)(D) and § 152.85) to submit
generic data in response to a DCI notice if the registrant
who supplies the active ingredient in his product is complying
with the data request.
If you are not now eligible for a formulator's exemption,
you may qualify for one if you change your source of supply
to a registered source that does not share ownership in
common with your firm. If you choose to change sources of
supply, the Confidential Statement of Formula must identify
the new source(s) and you must submit a Formulator's Exemption
Statement form.
If you apply for a new registration for products containing
this active ingredient after the issuance of this Registration
Standard, you will be required to submit or cite generic
data relevant to the uses of your product if, at the time
1 Registrations granted after issuance of this Standard
will be conditioned upon submission or citation of the data
listed in this Registration Standard.
-------
-40-
the application is submitted, the data have been submitted
to the Agency by current registrants. If the required data
have not yet been submitted, any new registration will be
conditioned upon the new registrant's submission or citation
of the required data not later than the date upon which
current registrants of similar products are required to provide
such data. See FIFRA sec. 3(c)(7)(A). If you thereafter fail
to comply with the condition of that registration to provide
data, the registration may be cancelled (FIFRA sec. 6(e)).
C. What generic data must be submitted?
You may determine which generic data you must submit by
consulting Table A. That table lists the generic data needed
to evaluate current uses of all products containing this
active ingredient, the uses for which such data are required,
and the dates by which the data must be submitted to the
Agency.
D. How to comply with PCI requirements.
Within 90 days of your receipt of this Registration
Standard, you must submit to EPA a completed copy of the form
entitled "FIFRA Section 3(c)(2)(B) Summary Sheet" (EPA Form
8580-1, enclosed) for each of your products. On that form
you must state which of the following six methods you will
use to comply with the DCI requirements:
1. You will submit the data yourself.
2. You have entered into an agreement with one or more
registrants to jointly develop (or share in the cost of
developing) the data, but will not be submitting the data
yourself. If you use this method, you must state who will
submit the data on which you will rely. You must also provide
EPA with documentary evidence that an agreement has been
formed which allows you to rely upon the data to be submitted.
Such evidence may be: (1) your letter offering to join in
an agreement and the other registrant's acceptance of your
offer, (2) a written statement by the parties that an agreement
exists, or (3) a written statement by the person who will be
submitting the data that you may rely upon its submission.
The Agency will also require adequate assurance that the
person whom you state will provide the data is taking appropriate
steps to secure it. The agreement to produce the data need
not specify all of the terms of the final arrangement between
the parties or a mechanism to resolve the terms.
-------
-41-
3 . You have attempted to enter into an agreement to
jointly develop data, but no other registrant has accepted
your offer. You request that EPA not suspend your registration
tor non-compliance with the PCI. EPA has determined that,
as a general policy, it will not suspend the registration of
a product when the registrant has in good faith sought and
continues to seek to enter into a data development/cost
sharing program, but the other registrants developing the
data have refused to accept its offer. [It your offer is
accepted, you may qualify for Option 2 above by entering
into an agreement to supply the data.]
In order to quality for this method, you must:
1. File with EPA a completed "Certification of Attempt
to Enter into an Agreement with other Registrants for Develop-
ment of Data" (EPA Form 8580-6, enclosed).
2. Provide us with a copy of your offer to the other
registrant and proof of the other registrant's receipt of your
offer (such as a certified mail receipt). Your offer must,
at a minimum, contain the following language or its equivalent:
[Your company name] offers to share in the burden ot
producing the data required pursuant to FIFRA sec.
3(c)(2)(B) in the [name of active ingredient] Registration
Standard upon terms to be agreed or failing agreement
to be bound by binding arbitration as provided by FIFRA
section 3(c) ( 2) (B) ( iii) .
The remainder of your offer may not in any .way attempt to
limit this commitment. If the other registrant to whom your
offer is made does not accept your offer, and if the other
registrant informs us on a DCI Summary Sheet that he will
develop and submit the data required under the DCI, then you
may qualify tor this option. In order for you to avoid
suspension under this method, you may not later withdraw or
limit your offer to share in the burden of developing the
data. In addition, the other registrant must fulfill its
commitment to develop and submit the data.
4 You reques^^yiar^^_o^aa_^. If
requirement does not (or should not)
you beieia r
apply to your product or its uses, you must provide EPA with
a statement of the reasons why you believe this is so. Your
statement must address the specific composition or use factors
that lead you to believe that a requirement does not apply.
Since the Agency has carefully considered the composition and
uses of pesticide products in determining that a data require-
ment applies, EPA does not anticipate that many waivers will
be granted. A request for waiver does not extend the time-
frames for developing required data, and if your waiver
request is denied, your registration may be suspended it you
tail to submit the data.
-------
-42-
5. You request that EPA amend your registration by deleting
the uses for which the data are needed. You are not required
to submit data for uses which are no longer on your label.
6. You request voluntary cancellation of the registration
of your product(s) for which the data are needed.
E. Procedures for requesting a change in testing protocol.
If you will generate the required data and plan to use
test procedures which deviate from (or are not specified in)
either EPA's Pesticide Assessment Guidelines or the Reports
of Expert Groups to the Chemicals Group, Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Chemicals Testing
Programme, you must submit tor EPA approval the protocols
you propose to use.
You should submit your protocols before beginning testing
and await EPA approval, because the Agency will not ordinarily
accept as sufficient studies using unapproved protocols.
A request for protocol approval will not extend the timeframe
for submission of the data, nor will extensions generally be
given to conduct studies due to submittal of inappropriate
protocols.
F. Procedures for requesting extensions of time.
If you think that you will need more time to generate
the data than is allowed by EPA's schedule, you may submit a
request for an extension of time. Any request for a time
extension which is made as an initial response to a section
3(c)(2)(B) request notice must be submitted in writing to
the Product Manager listed at the end of this section and
must be made before the deadline for response. Once dates
have been committed to and EPA has accepted these commitments,
any subsequent requests tor a time extension must be submitted
in writing to the Office of Compliance Monitoring.
EPA will view failure to request an extension before
the response deadline as a waiver of any future claim that
there was insufficient time to submit the data. While EPA
considers your request, you must strive to meet the deadline
for submitting the data.
The extension request should state the reasons why you
believe that an extension is necessary and the steps you
have taken to meet the testing deadline. Time extensions
normally will not be granted due to problems with laboratory
capacity or adequacy of funding, since the Agency believes
that with proper planning these can be overcome. Time extensions
may be considered when joint data development is planned,
-------
-43-
or when the Agency must approve a new or modified protocol
before the study can be begun.
A request for an extension does not extend the timetrame
for submission of the data. If EPA denies your request for
a time extension and you do not submit the data as requested,
EPA may begin proceedings to suspend the registrations of
your products.
G. Existing stocks provision upon suspension or cancellation.
The Agency has determined that if a registration is
suspended for failure to respond to a DCI request under
FIFRA sec. 3(c)(2)(B), an existing stocks provision is not
consistent with the Act. Accordingly, the Agency does not
anticipate granting permission to sell or distribute existing
stocks of suspended product except in rare circumstances.
If you believe that your product will be suspended or cancelled
and that an existing stocks provision should be granted, you
have the burden of clearly demonstrating to EPA that granting
such permission would be consistent with the Act. The following
information must be included in any request for an existing
stocks provision:

V. REQUIREMENT FOR SUBMISSION OF PRODUCT-SPECIFIC DATA
Under the authority of section 3(c)(2)(B) of FIFRA, EPA
has determined that certain product-specific data are required
to maintain your registrations in effect. Product-specific
data are derived from testing using a specific formulated
product, and, unlike generic data, generally support only
the registration of that product. All such data must be
submitted by the dates specified in this Registration Standard
If you have a manufacturing use product, these data are
listed in Table B. As noted earlier, the Agency has
decided that it will not routinely require product-specific
data for end use products at this time.
In order to comply with the product specific data require-
ments, you must follow the same procedures as for generic data,
See Section IV.D, E, F, and G. You should note, however, that
product chemistry data are required for every product, and the
only acceptable responses are options IV.D.I. (submit data)
or IV.D.6. (cancellation of registration).
Failure to comply with the product-specific data require-
ments for your products will result in suspension of the
product's registration.
-------
-45-
VI. REQUIREMENT FOR SUBMISSION OF REVISED LABELING
FIFRA requires each product to be labeled with accurate,
complete and sufficient instructions and precautions, reflecting
the Agency's assessment of the data supporting the product
and its uses. General labeling requirements are set out in
40 CFR 162.10 (see Appendix II - LABELING and SUMMARY). In
addition, labeling requirements specific to products containing
aluminum or magnesium phosphide are specified in Section
II.F. of this Registration Standard. Applications submitted
in response to this notice must include draft labeling for
Agency review.
If you fail to submit revised labeling as required,
which complies with 40 CFR 162.10 and the specific instructions
in Section II.F., EPA may seek to cancel or suspend the
registration of your product under FIFRA sec. 6.
-------

GUIDE TO TABLES
Tables A and B contain listings of data requirements
for the pesticides covered by this Registration Standard.
Table A contains generic data requirements that apply to
the pesticide in all products, including data requirements
for which a "typical formulation" is the test substance.
Table B contains product-specific data requirements that
apply only to a manufacturing use product.
The data tables are generally organized according to the
following format:
1. Data Requirement (Column 1). The data requirements are
listed in the order in which they appear in 40 CFR Part 158.
The reference numbers accompanying each test refer to the
test protocols set out in the Pesticide Assessment Guidelines,
which are available from the National Technical Information
Service, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161.
2. Test Substance (Column 2). This column lists the composition
of the test substance required to be used for the test, as
follows:
TGAI = Technical grade of the active ingredient
PA1 - Pure active ingredient
PAIRA - Pure active ingredient, radio labeled
TEP » Typical end use formulation
MP = Manufacturing use product
EP » End use product
Any other test substances, such as metabolites, will be
specifically named in Column 2 or in footnotes to the table.
3. Use pattern (Column 3). This column indicates the use
patterns to which the data requirement applias. Use patterns
are the same as those given in 40 CFR Part 158. The following
letter designations are used for the given use patterns:
A - Terrestrial, food
B - Terrestrial, non-food
C « Aquatic, food
D - Aquatic, non-food
E « Greenhouse, food
F * Greenhouse, non-food
G » Forestry
H = Domestic outdoor
I » Indoor
Any other designations will be defined in a footnote to the cable
-------
4. Does EPA have data? (Column 4). This column indicates one
of three answers:
YES - EPA has data in its files that completely satisfy
this data requirement. These data may be cited by
other registrants in accordance with data compensation
requirements of Part 152, Subpart E.
PARTIALLY - EPA has some data in its files, but such data
do not fully satisfy the data requirement. In some cases,
the Agency may possess data on one of two required species,
or may possess data on one test substance but not all.
The term may also indicate that the data available to
EPA are incomplete. In this case, when the data are
clarified, or additional details of the testing submitted
by the original data submitter, the data may be determined
to be acceptable. If this is the case, a footnote to
the table will usually say so.
NO - EPA either possesses no data which are sufficient
to fulfill the data requirement, or the data which EPA
does possess are flawed scientifically in a manner that
cannot be remedied by clarification or additional infor-
mation .
5. Bibliographic citation (Column 5). If the Agency has
acceptable data in its files, this column lists the identifying
number of each study. This normally is the Master Record
Identification (MRID) number, but may be a GS number if no
MRID number has been assigned. Refer to the Bibliography
Appendices for a complete citation of the study.
6. Must additional data be submitted? (Column 6). This
column indicates whether the data must be submitted to the
Agency. If column 3 indicates that the Agency already has
data, this column will usually indicate NO. If column 3
indicates that the Agency has only partial data or no data,
this column will usually indicate YES. In some cases, even
though the Agency does not have the data, EPA will not require
its submission because of the unique characteristics of the
chemical; because data on another chemical can be used to
fulfill the data requirement; or because the data requirement
has been waived or reserved. Any such unusual situations
will be explained in a footnote to the table.
7. Timefr'ame for submission (Column 7). If column 5 requires
that data besubmitted,this column indicates when the data
are to be submitted, based on the issuance date of the Regis-
tration Standard. The timeframes are those established either
as a result of a previous Data Call-in letter, or standardized
timeframes established by PR Notice 85-5 (August 22, 1985).
8. Footnotes (at the end of each table). Self-explanatory.

I/ Not applicable. Although product chemistry data may been submitted in the past, the Agency has determined that
these data must be resubmitted for each pesticide. New requirements have been introduced and previously submitted
data must be updated. Therefore bibliographic citations for the old data are not applicable.
2/ There are currently no products which consist solely of the TGAI. This table is included in this standard to
identify product chemistry data applicable to the TGAI for those who may wish to register it.

2/ Not applied by foliar or soil application.
3/ The Agency requires exposure data in order to determine whether any worker group is at significant risk when
fumigating or handling any label-approved commodity with aluminum or magnesium phosphide.
A. Identifying and Describing Work-Related Activities and Providing Use-Related Information. A report must be
submitted which traces treated commodities from the time of fumigation through avenues of commerce to the point where
it is completely aerated (i.e., incapable of generating detectable levels of phosphine gas). This report must
identify and describe in detail activities for which there is potential inhalation exposure of workers to phosphine
gas. Furthermore, it must specify any potential for dermal exposure from application through avenues of ccranerce
The work related activities which must be included in the report include, but are not limited to: 1) application of
funigant to raw agricultural commodities, feed, processed and finished ccranodities; 2) work activities in which
treated commodities are handled or transferred; and 3) any other work activities which may result in worker exposure
to phosphine. All major sites are to be addressed. Examples include: 1) grain elevators, 2) food processing plants,
3) railroad cars, 4) on-farm storage bins and 5) tobacco warehouses. The report must estijnate average hours per day
and days per year that a worker is involved in each task where exposure may occur. If an individual typically per-
forms more than one work activity, this must be described. The report must also include all available and relevant
work logs; the estimates of work hours should be justified by reference to these logs. The type of clothing worn,
including protective gear such as gloves or respirators, must be described in detail for each work activity. The
number of individuals involved in each work activity must be estimated, again supported by work logs where possible.
-------
B. Personal Exposure Monitoring. Within 15 months you are required to carry out a study of worker exposure to
phosphine for all work activities where exposure is possible. Potential inhalation exposure during each activity
described below roust be measured using personal monitoring techniques approved by the Agency. Draeger tube or other
fixed location technology will not obviate the need for personal monitoring. Monitoring must be done separately
for each task, even if the sane individual performs more than one task. Studies must be carried out according to EPA
Pesticide Assessment Draft Guidelines, Subdivision U, Jan. 2, 1986, Applicator Exposure Monitoring. Protocols must
be approved by the Agency prior to study initiation. Protocols must be submitted to EPA for approval prior to
conduct of the studies. The protocols should contain a tentative sampling schedule and evidence that sufficient
resources have been allocated to assure the proper conduct of the study. A final report will be due 15 months after
receipt of this Notice.

over 30 18 point 12 point
Item 7A. CHILD HAZARD WARNING STATEMENT - The statement
"Keep Out of Reach of Children" must be located on the front
panel above the signal word except where contact with children
during distribution or use is unlikely. [40 CFR 162.10(h)(1)(ii)]
Item 7B. SIGNAL WORD - The signal word (DANGER, WARNING,
or CAUTION) is required on the front panel immediately below
the child hazard warning statement. [40 CFR 162.10 (h)(l)(i)]
Item 7C. SKULL & CROSSBONES AND WORD "POISON" - On products
assigned a toxicity Category I on the basis of oral, dermal,
or inhalation toxicity, the word "Poison" shall appear on the
label in red on a background of distinctly contrasting color and
the skull and crossbones shall appear in immediate proximity to
the word POISON. [40 CFR 162.10(h)(1)(i)]
Item 70. STATEMENT OF PRACTICAL TREATMENT - A statement
of practical treatment (first aid or other) shall appear on
the label of pesticide products in toxicity Categories I,
II, and III. [40 CFR 162.I0(h)(l)(111)J
Item 7E. REFERRAL STATEMENT - The statement "See Side
(or Back) Panel for Additional Precautionary Statements" is
required on the front panel for all products, unless all
required precautionary statements appear on the front panel.
[40 CFR I62.10(h)(l)(ili)]
Itam 8. SIDE/BACK PANEL PRECAUTIONARY LABELING - The
precautionary statements listed below must appear together
on the label under the heading "PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS."
The preferred location is at the top of the side or back
panel preceding the directions for use, and it is preferred
that these statements be surrounded by a block outline. Each
of the three hazard warning statements must be headed by the
appropriate hazard title. [40 CFR 162.10(h) (2 ) ] .
-------
Item 8A. HAZARD TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS - Where a
hazard exists to humans or domestic animals, precautionary
statements are required indicating the particular hazard, the
route(s) of exposure and the precautions to be taken to avoid
accident, injury or damage. [40 CFR 162 .10(h) (2)(i)]
Item 8B. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD - Where a hazard exists to
non-target organisms excluding humans and domestic animals,
precautionary statements are required stating the nature of
the hazard and the appropriate precautions to avoid potential
accident, injury, or damage. [40 CFR 162.10(h ) (2)(ii)]
Item 8C. PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARD - FLAMMABIHTY
Precautionary statements relating to flammability of a product
are required t.o appear on the label if it meets the criteria
in the PHYS/CHEM Labeling Appendix. The requirement is
based on the results of the flashpoint determinations and
flame extension tests required to be submitted for all products.
These statements are to be located in the side/back panel
precautionary statements section, preceded by the heading
"Physical/Chemical Hazards." Note that no signal word is
used in conjunction with the flammability statements.
Item 9A. RESTRICTED USE CLASSIFICATION - FIFRA sec. 3(d)
requires that all pesticide formulations/uses be classified
for either general or restricted use. Products classified
for restricted use may be limited to use by certified applicators
or persons under their direct supervision (or may be subject
to other restrictions that may be imposed by regulation).
In the Registration Standard, the Agency has (1) indicated
certain formulations/uses are to be restricted (Section IV
indicates why the product has been classified for restricted
use); or (2) reserved any classification decision until
appropriate data are submitted.
The Regulatory Position and Rationale states whether
products containing this active ingredient are classified
for restricted use. If they are restricted the draft label(s)
submitted to the Agency as part of your application must
reflect this determination (see below).
If you do not believe that your product should be classified
for restricted use, you must submit any information and
rationale with your application for reregistration. During
the Agency's review of your application, your proposed classi-
fication determination will be evaluated in accordance with
the provisions of 40 CFR I62.11(c). You will be notified of
the Agency's classification decision.
-------
Classification Labeling Requirements
If your product has been classified for restricted use,
the following label requirements apply:
1. All uses restricted.
a. The statement "Restricted Use Pesticide" oust
appear at the top of the front panel of the label. The
statement must be set in type of the sane minimum size
as required for human hazard signal word (see table in 40
CFR 162.10(h)(l)(iv)
b. Directly below this statement on the front panel,
a summary statement of the terms of restriction must
appear (including the reasons for restriction if specified
in Section I). If use is restricted to certified applicators,
the following statement is required: "For retail sale
to and use only by Certified Applicators or persons
under their direct supervision and only for those uses
covered by the Certified Applicator's Certification."
2. Some but not all uses restricted. If the Regulatory
Position and Rationale states that some uses are classified
for restricted use, and some are unclassified, several courses
of action are available:
a. You may label the product for Restricted use.
If you do so, you may include on the label uses that
are unrestricted, but you may not distinguish them
on the label as being unrestricted.
b. You may delete all restricted uses from your
label and submit draft labeling bearing only unrestricted
uses.
c. You may "split" your registration, I.e., register
two separate products with identical formulations, one
bearing only unrestricted uses, and the other bearing
restricted uses. To do so, submit two applications for
reregistration, each containing all forms and necessary
labels. Both applications should be submitted simul-
taneously. Note that the products will be assigned
separate registration numbers.
Item 9B. MISUSE STATEMENT - All products must bear the
misuse statement, "It is a violation of Federal law to use
this product in a manner Inconsistent with its labeling."
This statement appears at the beginning of the directions
for use, directly beneath the heading of that section.
-------
Item 10A. REENTRY STATEMENT - If a reentry interval
has been established by the Agency, it must be included on
the label. Additional worker protection statements may be
required in accordance with PR Notice 83-2, March 29, 1983.
Item 10B. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL BLOCK - All labels are
required to bear storage and disposal statements. These
statements are developed for specific containers, sizes, and
chemical content. These instructions must be grouped and
appear under the heading "Storage and Disposal" in the directions
for use. This heading must be set in the same type sizes as
required for the child hazard warning. Refer to Appendix II,
STOR, PEST/DIS, and CONT/DIS to determine the storage and
disposal instructions appropriate for your products.
Item IOC. DIRECTIONS FOR USE - Directions for use must
be stated in terms which can be easily read and understood by
the average person likely to use or to supervise the use of
the pesticide. When followed, directions must be adequate to
protect the public from fraud and from personal injury and to
prevent unreasonable adverse effects on the environment.
[40 CFR 162.10]
COLLATERAL LABELING
Bulletins, leaflets, circulars, brochures, data sheets,
flyers, or other written or graphic printed matter which is
referred to on the label or which is to accompany the product
are termed collateral labeling. Such labeling may not bear
claims or representations that differ in substance from those
accepted in connection with registration of the product. It
should be made part of the response to this notice and submitted
for review.

is called.a "study." In the case of published materials,
this corresponds closely to an article. In the case of
unpublished materials submitted to the Agency, the Agency
has sought to identify documents at a level parallel to
the published article from within the typically larger
volumes in which they were submitted. The resulting
"studies" generally have a distinct title (or at least a
single subject), can stand alone for purposes of review,
and can be described with a conventional bibliographic
citation. The Agency has attempted also to unite basic
documents and commentaries upon them, treating them as a
single study.
3. IDENTIFICATION OF ENTRIES. The entries in this bibliography
are sorted numerically by "Master Record Identifier," or
MRID, number. This number is unique to the citation, and
should be used at any time specific reference is required.
It is not related to the six-digit "Accession Number"
which has been used to identify volumes of submitted
studies; see paragraph 4(d)(4) below for a further explana-
tion. In a few cases, entries added to the bibliography
late in the review may be preceded by a nine-character
temporary identifier. These entries are listed after
all MRID entries. This temporary identifier number is
also to be used whenever specific reference is needed.
4. FORM OF ENTRY. In addition to the Master Record Identifier
(MRID), each entry consists of a citation containing
standard elements followed, in the case of material
submitted to EPA, by a description of the earliest known
submission. Bibliographic conventions used reflect the
standards of the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI), expanded to provide for certain special .needs.
-------
a. Author. Whenever the Agency could confidently identify
one, the Agency has chosen to show a personal author.
When no individual was identified, the Agency has
shown an identifiable laboratory or testing facility
as author. As a last resort, the Agency has shown
the first submitter as author.
b. Document Date. When the date appears as four digits
with no question marks, the Agency took it directly
from the document. When a four-digit date is followed
by a question nark, the bibliographer deduced the
date from evidence in the document. When the date
appears as (19??), the Agency was unable to determine
or estimate the date of the document.
c. Title. In some cases, it has been necessary for
Agency bibliographers to create or enhance a document
title. Any such editorial insertions are contained
between square brackets.
d. Trailing Parentheses. For studies submitted to the
Agency in the past, the trailing parentheses include
(in addition to any self-explanatory text) the fol-
lowing elements describing the earliest known submission:
(1) Submission Date. The date of the earliest known
submission appears immediately following the word
"received."
(2) Administrative Number. The next element,
immediately following the word "under," is the
registration number, experimental use permit
number, petition number, or other administrative
number associated with the earliest known submission.
(3) Submitter. The third element is the submitter,
following the phrase "submitted by." When
authorship is defaulted to the submitter, *his
element is omitted.
(4) Volume Identification (Accession Numbers). The
final element in the trailing parentheses
identifies the EPA accession number of the volume
in which the original submission of the study
appears. The six-digit accession number follows
the symbol "CDL," standing for "Company Data
Library." This accession number is in turn
followed by an alphabetic suffix which shows the
relative position of the study within the volume.
For example, within accession number 123456, the
first study would be 123456-A; the second, 123456-
B; the 26th, 123456-Z; and the 27th, 123456-AA.

ALUMINUM PHOSPHIDE
TYPE PESTICIDE; Insect Fumigant
FORMULATIONS; D (57%); P/T (55%, 57%, 60%)
GENERAL WARNINGS AND LIMITATIONS; Restricted use pesticide. When alumi-
num phosphide comes in contact with water or other liquids, flammable and
poisonous phosphine gas (hydrogen phosphide) is produced. Spontaneous
heating and combustion may occur, especially if aluminum phosphide is
piled in 1 location. Wear gloves when handling. Do not breathe vapor or
dust. Users should have available full-face gas masks with cannisters
that are approved for phosphine protection. Users should also have gas
detection equipment designed specifically for pbospbine. Phosphine re-
acts with copper, brass, gold, silver, and other precious metals. Elec-
trical equipment, undeveloped film, certain types of copying paper, and
other materials containing these metals should be removed from structures
to be fumigated or protected from phosphine. Some protection may be af-
forded by wrapping materials in heavy polyethylene film, and electrical
contact points can be coated with petroleum jelly. Make structures and
transportation vehicles being fumigated as gastight as possible to pro-
vide safe and effective fumigation. Seal all doors, windows, vents, and
other openings and cracks, except for the opening being used to enter and
leave. Use suitable sealers such as masking tape, caulking compound, and
polyethylene film to achieve a tight seal. After applying fumigant, va-
cate structure or transportation vehicle and lock entryway. Phosphine is
capable of penetrating a wide variety of dense and seemingly gastight ma-
terials, such as masonry block walls and poorly constructed wood struc-
tures. Dosages are dependent upon how well the structure to be fumigated
is sealed and also upon adverse conditions, such as high winds. Higher
dosages are for poorly sealed structures or adverse weather conditions.
Higher dosages should also be used if rice weevil is present. Post danger
signs at all possible entrances to fumigated structures and transportation
vehicles. Information on danger signs on structures should follow manu-
facturer's recommendations and those on transportation vehicles should
read as per Department of Transportation requirements. Do not subdivide
prepackaged pellets or tablets. Once a container of bagged aluminum phos-
phide is opened, all bags must be used. Bags cannot be saved for future
use. Fumigated foods should be allowed to aerate for at least 48 hours
before being offered to consumers. Do not fumigate at temperatures below
40 F (4.4 C).

General Warnings and Limitations;
Stored Commodity Fumigation
Silos and bins
Filling of silos and bins must be continuous. Determine addition se-
quence on a bags per minute basis to ensure even distribution through-
out. Keep an accurate count of the number of bags used as the removal
of bags from the grain is required once the grain is moved or trans-
ferred. Removal of bags is accomplished by transfer of the grain over
a screen.
Grain elevator type bins and silos
Pour the required dosage of pellets into the dispenser reservoir. Add
pellets uniformly and continuously to the commodity stream as bin is
filled using an automatic dispenser. Start transfer of the commodity.
Allow the bin to fill for about 1 minute, then activate the dispenser.
Check the calibration to ensure that the proper addition rate has been
achieved. After exposure time is completed, test working areas for
phospnine gas. If gas is detected, workers should wear approved gas
masks until all traces of gas have vanished. Open doors and windows or
otherwise create a draft through tunnels and other enclosed spaces be-
neath bins. Unseal bin bottoms, activate conveyors, and begin the
transfer. Hie natural draft through tunnels in combination with air
movement caused by the operation of conveying equipment, elevator legs,
or dust filters will quickly dilute any phosphine coming with the com-
modity from the bin.
Commodities stored in bulk or in bags, in warehouses and vaults
Tightly seal and lock all passageways to connecting buildings. Evacu-
ate buildings during fumigation. Determine beforehand a distribution
plan for placement of the bags. Floor area selected should be clean,
dry, and unobstructed. Use as much of the floor space as possible to
spread out the bags. Very large buildings may require several opera-
tors to complete the placement within the one-half hour period before
phosphine gas is released. Operators should carry approved gas masks
at all times. Open cans in the open air outside of the building.
Place bags on the floor in a systematic manner, without overlapping or
allowing them to touch. Do not toss bags in inaccessible areas. Va-
cate building and secure with a lock. For multiple story buildings,
placement should begin with the uppermost floor and end with the ground
floor. After required exposure time, open as many ground level doors
as possible without entering the building. Working in pairs and wear-
ing approved gas masks, enter the building after -P?'0"""1*Jtbj""
and o£. remaining doors and windows. Permit building to .ir out or
several hours, then test for the presence of phosphine gas. When the
building is free of gas, gather up all the spent bags and remove them
fromSI building. Check bag count with the original placement count.

pared. Divide the square feet of grain surface area by 50 to yield the
number of probes required. Divide the dosage by tbe number of probes
required to determine tbe number of tablets required per probe. Insert
probe to a depth of 12 feet. Release tablets every 12 inches as the
probe is withdrawn. The number of tablets released"at each foot is de-
termined by dividing the number of tablets in each probe by 12. Tab-
lets will begin to decompose in 3 hours. All work should be completed
within 2 hours. Periodically test tbe working atmosphere above the com-
modity surface for tbe presence of phospbine gas. If concentrations de-
velop in tbe working atmosphere before probing is complete, gas masks
must be worn. Seal the flat storage unit to obtain an effective fumiga-
tion. If necessary, cover the commodity surface with plastic film or
other gastight materials. For spot fumigation of flat storage, deter-
mine the volume of the infested area by probe sample, then double it.
Determine the dosage on tbe basis of tbe*bigbest dosage permitted. Us-
ing probes, insert the tablets uniformly throughout tbe spot to be
treated. If the spot is close to the surface, place polyethylene film
or other gastight materials over the area following insertion of the
tablets. After exposure time is completed, working from outside, re-
move all seals and activate the head space ventilation fans if present.
Ventilate any tunnels or enclosed spaces beneath buildings. Before
workers are allowed to enter the building, test for presence of pbos-
phine. If gas is present, continue aeration.
Transportation Vehicle Treatment
Hopper cars with round hatch (static or rolling)
Close and secure all hatches except those being used for distribution
of tbe gas. In every case, at least 2 hatches should be used at oppo-
site ends of tbe car. All hatch covers must be soft and pliable. Thor-
oughly clean the flange lip on the hatches being used for application.
Prepare cardboard discs by punching at least 12 holes at random in the
discs. Open cans and remove bags. Divide the total dosage among the
number of discs being used. Place the bags on the disc, spacing them
at least 1 inch apart. Do not overlap the bags. Tape the disc in
place with sanitary seal over them. Close and secure batch covers.
Hopper cars with slotted hatch (static or rolling)
Using masking tape, make supports on 12 inch centers across the hatch
opening. Use heavy cardboard, cut so it will rest on the batch
flanges, and tape into place. The rest of the procedure is the same as
for cars with round hatch. When fumigating rail cars in-transit, pro-
vide the receiver with bag disposal instructions and first aid proce-
dures*
Boxcars (static or rolling) and static trailer vans
Use 2 pieces of heavy cardboard.Divide tbe total dosage, using one-
half for each piece. Place the bags on tbe cardboard, spaced a minimum
of 1 inch apart to avoid overlapping. Tape only bag ends to tbe card-
board. Take the prepared boards into tbe car and secure 1 in each end,

Bulk dry cargo vessels
Comply with the regulations found in U.S. Coast Guard Regulations,
46 CFR 147A. Determine if ship holds are constructed to permit an in-
transit fumigation without danger to the crew. Seal all openings but
the main hatch opening. Secure and lock all openings and passages nor-
mally used to enter the hold. Arrange for enough manpower to complete
the preparations within 2 hours before pbospbine gas begins to accumu-
late (refer to placement instructions under formulation subtopics). Re-
gularly monitor all areas and spaces of the ship for the presence of
phosphine until the ship leaves port. Check the tanks and holds for
leaks and reseal if necessary. Upon arrival into the port of dis-
charge, holds or tanks may be opened. Any phosphine in the free space
above the commodity will dissipate to the atmosphere. There may be
some gas remaining in the commodity itself, but it will disappear as
discharge takes place. If it is necessary for workers to enter holds,
the air space directly above the commodity mass should be tested for
phosphine. If found in excess of allowed limits, extend aeration time.
Bagged form of aluminum phosphide; Open cans, remove bags, and insert
into the pockets of bag blankets. Place the bag blankets fully extend-
ed onto the commodity surface. Space them several feet apart so they
can not overlap. Close the hatch and cover immediately after blankets
are in place. Pelleted/tableted form of aluminum phosphide: Scatter
pellets/tablets uniformly on commodity surface, insert with probe to
any depth desired or add to commodity as storage area is filled.
Tankers
Comply with the regulations found in the U.S. Coast Guard Regulations,
46 CFR 147A. Determine if ship holds are constructed to permit an in-
transit fumigation without danger to the crew. The overspace pressure
relief system of each tank must be sealed by the closure of appropriate
valves and covering the overspace opening with gastight materials.
Close, secure, and seal the main hatch opening (big boy) and each auxil-
iary hatch opening (butterworth) immediately following the placement of
the fumigating material (refer to placement instructions under f°™la-
tion subtopics). Post danger signs. All areas of the ship should be
monitored for presence of phosphine gas until the ship leaves port.
Areas frequented by crew members should be monitored during the voyage.
Reseal any leaks in tanks or holds. Tank holds may be opened upon arri-
val at discharge port. Any phosphine in the free air space above the
commodity will rapidly dissipate. Gas remaining in the commodity mass

will disperse as discharge takes place. If workers need to enter holds,
test the air space directly above the commodity mass for phospbine. If
gas is in excess of allowable limits, allow for additional aeration and/
or ventilation. Bagged formulation of aluminum phosphide; A portion of
the total number of bags designated for each tank must be allotted for
placement in each auxiliary hatch opening and main hatch opening. De-
termine the length and number of bag blankets required for each tank and
cut to length accordingly. Open cans and begin inserting the bags into
the blankets. As each blanket is filled, position it fully extended on
the commodity surface. When blankets are applied through the main
hatch, workers will need to enter the tank. Secure each blanket with a
stout cord. Tie the loose end to each auxiliary hatch opening plus the
main batch opening. Pelleted/tableted formulation of aluminum phos-
phide; Scatter pellets/tablets uniformly onto the commodity surface.

General Warnings and Limitations;
Stored Commodity Fumigation
Silos and bins
Filling of silos and bins must be continuous. Determine addition se-
quence on a bags per minute basis to ensure even distribution through-
out. Keep an accurate count of the number of bags used as the removal
of bags from the grain is required once the grain is moved or trans-
ferred. Removal of bags is accomplished by transfer of the grain over
a screen.
Grain elevator type bins and silos
Pour the required dosage of pellets into the dispenser reservoir. Add
pellets uniformly and continuously to the commodity stream as bin is
filled using an automatic dispenser. Start transfer of the commodity.
Allow the bin to fill for about 1 minute, then activate the dispenser.
Check the calibration to ensure tbat the proper addition rate has been
achieved. After exposure time is completed, test working areas for
pbosphine gas. If gas is detected, workers should wear approved gas
masks until all traces of gas have vanished. Open doors and windows or
otherwise create a draft through tunnels and other enclosed spaces be-
neath bins. Unseal bin bottoms, activate conveyors, and begin the
transfer. The natural draft through tunnels in combination with air
movement caused by the operation of conveying equipment, elevator legs,
or dust filters will quickly dilute any pbospbine coming with the com-
modity from the bin.
Commodities stored in bulk or in bags, in warehouses and vaults
Tightly seal and lock all passageways to connecting buildings. Evacu-
ate buildings during fumigation. Determine beforehand a distribution
plan for placement of the bags. Floor area selected should be clean,
dry, and unobstructed. Use as much of the floor space as possible to
spread out the bags. Very large buildings may require several opera-
tors to complete the placement within the one-half hour period before
pbosphine gas is released. Operators should carry approved gas masks
at all times. Open cans in the open air outside of the building. Place
bags on the floor in a systematic manner without overlapping or allowing
them to touch. Do not toss bags in inaccessible areas. Vacate building
and secure with a lock. For multiple story buildings, placement should
begin with the uppermost floor and end with the ground floor. After re-
quired exposure time, open as many ground level doors as possible with-
out entering the building. Working in pairs and wearing approved gas
masks, enter the building after approximately 2 hours and open remaining
doors and windows. Permit building to air out several hours, then test
for the presence of phospbine gas. When the building is free of gas,
gather up all the spent bags and remove them from the building. Check
bag count with the original placement count.
Flat storage
The facility must be one that can be properly sealed or otherwise pre-
pared. Divide the square feet of grain surface area by 50 to yield the

number of probes required. Divide the dosage by the number of probes
required to determine the number of tablets required per probe. Insert
probe to a depth of 12 feet. Release tablets every 12 inches as the
probe is withdrawn. The number of tablets released" at each foot is de-
termined by dividing the number of tablets in each probe by 12. Tablets
will begin to decompose in 3 hours. All work should be completed within
2 hours. Periodically test the working, atmosphere above the commodity
surface for the presence of phosphine gas. If concentrations develop in
the working atmosphere before probing is complete, gas masks must be
worn. Seal the flat storage unit to obtain effective fumigation. If
necessary, cover the commodity surface with plastic film or other gas-
tight materials. For spot fumigation of flat storage, determine the
volume of the infested area by probe sample, then double it. Determine
the dosage on the basis of the highest dosage permitted. Using probes,
insert the tablets uniformly throughout the spot to be treated. If the
spot is close to the surface, place polyethylene film or other gastight
materials over the area following insertion of the tablets. After ex-
posure time is completed, working from outside, remove all seals and ac-
tivate the head space ventilation fans if present. Ventilate any tun-
nels or enclosed spaces beneath buildings. Before workers are allowed
to enter the building, test for presence of phosphine. If gas is pre-
sent, continue aeration.
Transportation Vehicle Treatment
Hopper cars with round hatch (static or rolling)
Close and secure all hatches except those being used for distribution of
the gas. In every case, at least 2 hatches should be used at opposite
ends of the car. All hatch covers must be soft and pliable. Thoroughly
clean the flange lip on the hatches being used for application. Prepare
cardboard discs by punching at least 12 holes at random in the discs.
Open cans and remove bags. Divide the total dosage among the number of
discs being used. Place the bags on the disc spacing them at least 1
inch apart. Do not overlap the bags. Tape the disc in place with san-
itary seal over them. Close and secure hatch covers.
Hopper cars with slotted hatch (static or rolling)
Using masking tape, make supports on 12 inch centers across the hatch
opening. Use heavy cardboard, cut so it will rest on the hatch flanges,
and tape into place. The rest of the procedure is the same as for cars
with round hatch. When fumigating rail cars in-transit, provide the re-
ceiver with bag disposal instructions and first aid procedures.
Boxcars («t-*tic or rolling) and static trailer vans
Use 2 pieces of heavy cardboard. Divide the total dosage, using one-
half for each piece. Place the bags on the cardboard, spaced a minimum
of 1 inch apart to avoid overlapping. Tape only bag ends to the card-
board. Take the prepared boards into the car and secure 1 in each end,
bag side up, to the load. If the load is covered with paper, secure

Close and secure door. If doorway is not draped, seal cracks, openings,
and joints from the outside. When fumigating rail cars in-transit, pro-
vide the receiver with bag disposal instructions and first aid proce-
dures.
Bulk dry cargo vessels
Comply with the regulations found in U.S. Coast Guard Regulations,
46 CFR 147A. Determine if ship holds are constructed to permit an in-
transit fumigation without danger to the crew. Seal all openings but
the main hatch opening. Secure and lock all openings and passages nor-
mally used to enter the hold. Arrange for enough manpower to complete
the preparations within 2 hours before pbosphine gas begins to accumu-
late (refer to placement instructions under formulation subtopics).
Regularly monitor all areas and spaces of the ship for the presence of
pbosphine until the ship leaves port. Check the tanks and holds for
leaks and reseal if necessary. Upon arrival into the port of discharge,
holds or tanks may be opened. Any pbospbine in the free space above the
commodity will dissipate to the atmosphere. There may be some gas re-
maining in the commodity itself, but it will disappear as discharge
takes place. If it is necessary for workers to enter holds, the air
space directly above the commodity mass should be tested for phosphine.
If found in excess of allowed limits, extend aeration time.

into the pockets of bag blankets. Place the bag blankets fully extend-
ed onto the commodity surface. Space them several feet apart so they
cannot overlap. Close the batch and cover immediately after blankets
are in place. Pelleted/tableted form of aluminum phosphide; Scatter
pellets/tablets uniformly on commodity surface, insert with probe to
any depth desired, or add to commodity as storage area is filled.
Tankers
Comply with the regulations found in the U.S. Coast Guard Regulations,
46 CFR 147A. Determine if ship holds are constructed to permit an in-
transit fumigation without danger to the crew. The overspace pressure
relief system of each tank must be sealed by the closure of appropriate
valves and covering the overspace opening with gastight materials.
Close, secure, and seal the main hatch opening (big boy) and each aux-
iliary hatch opening (butterworth) immediately following the placement
of the fumigating material (refer to placement instructions under formu-
lation subtopics). Post danger signs. All areas of the ship should be
monitored for presence of pbosphine gas until the ship leaves port.
Areas frequented by crew members should be monitored during the voyage.
Reseal any leaks in tanks or holds. Tank holds may be opened upon arri-
val at discharge port. Any phospbine in the free air space above the
commodity will rapidly dissipate. Gas remaining in the commodity mass

test the air space directly above the commodity mass for phosphine. If
gas is io excess of allowable limits, allow for additional aeration and/
or ventilation. Bagged formulation of aluminum phosphidg: A portion of
the total number of bags designated for each tank must be allotted for
placement in each auxiliary hatch opening and main hatch opening. De-
termine the length and number of bag blankets required for each tank and
cut to length accordingly. Open cans and begin inserting the bags into
the blankets. As each blanket is filled, position it fully extended on
the commodity surface. When blankets are applied through the main
hatch, workers will need to enter the tank. Secure each blanket with a
stout cord. Tie the loose end to each auxiliary hatch opening plus the
main hatch opening. Pelleted/tab^*-^ foliation of aluminum phos-

General Warnings and Limitations: Under no condition shall any pro-
cessed food come in contact with aluminum phosphide or aluminum phos-
phide residue except as follows: Aluminum phosphide may be added di-
rectly to processed brewer's rice, malt, or corn grits stored by brew-
ers for the use in the manufacture of beer.
Stored Commodity Fumigation
Grain elevator type bins and silos
Pour the required dosage of pellets into the dispenser reservoir. Add
pellets uniformly and continuously to the commodity stream as bin is
filled using an automatic dispenser. Start transfer of the commodity.
Allow the bin to fill for about 1 minute, then activate the dispenser.
Check the calibration to ensure that the proper addition rate has been
achieved. After exposure time is completed, test working areas for
phosphine gas. If gas is detected, workers should wear approved gas
masks until all traces of gas have vanished. Open doors and windows or
otherwise create a draft through tunnels and other enclosed spaces be-
neath bins. Unseal bin bottoms, activate conveyors, and begin the
transfer. The natural draft through tunnels in combination with air
movement caused by the operation of conveying equipment, elevator legs,
or dust filters will quickly dilute any phosphine coming with the com-
modity from the bin.
Warehouses and vaults
Tightly seal and lock all passageways to connecting buildings. Evacu-
ate buildings during fumigation. Determine beforehand a distribution
plan for placement of the bags. Floor area selected should be clean,
dry, and unobstructed. Use as much of the floor space as possible to
spread out the bags. Very large buildings may require several opera-
tors to complete the placement within the one-half hour period before
phosphine gas is released. Operators should carry approved gas masks
at all times. Open cans in the open air outside of the building. Place
bags onto the floor in a systematic manner without overlapping or allow-
ing them to touch. Do not toss bags in inaccessible areas. Vacate
buildings and secure with a lock. For multiple story buildings, place-
ment should begin with the uppermost floor and end with the ground
floor. After required exposure time, open as many ground level doors as
possible without entering the building. Working in pairs and wearing
approved gas masks, enter the building after approximately 2 hours and
open remaining doors and windows. Permit building to air out for sev-
eral hours, then test for the presence of phosphine gas. When the
building is free of gas, gather up all the spent bags and remove them
from the building. Check bag count with the original placement count.
Flat storage
The facility must be one that can be properly sealed or otherwise pre-
pared. Divide the square feet of grain surface area by 50 to yield the
number of probes required. Divide the dosage by the number of probes
required to determine the number of tablets required per probe. Insert
probe to a depth of 12 feet. Release tablets every 12 inches as the

probe is withdrawn. The number of tablets released at each foot is de-
termined by dividing the number of tablets in each probe by 12. Tablets
will begin to decompose in 3 hours. All work should be completed within
2 hours. Periodically test the working atmosphere above the commodity
surface for the presence of phosphine gas. If concentrations develop in
the working atmosphere before probing is complete, gas masks must be
worn. Seal the flat storage unit to obtain an effective fumigation. If
necessary, cover the commodity surface with plastic film or other gas-
tight materials. For spot fumigation of flat storage, determine the
volume of the infested area by probe sample, then double it. Determine
the dosage on the basis of the highest dosage permitted. Using probes,
insert the tablets uniformly throughout the spot to be treated. If the
spot is close to the surface, place polyethylene film or other gastight
materials over the area following insertion of the tablets. After expo-
sure time is completed, working from outside, remove all seals and acti-
vate the head space ventilation fans if present. Ventilate any tunnels
or enclosed spaces beneath buildings. Before workers are allowed to en-
ter the building, test for presence of phosphine. If gas is present,
continue aeration.
Containers
Pour pellets/tablets in a single layer on trays or similar devices and
place inside container. If floor space is limited, it may be necessary
to place the trays on top of the load. In warm weather placement should
be completed within one-half hour after the flasks are opened. Vacate
container and seal and lock doors. When exposure is complete, open con-
tainer doors. After 1 hour test for the presence of phosphine gas. Op-
erators should wear approved gas masks.
Tobacco warehouses
All passageways to connecting buildings and all entrances should be
locked and sealed. Establish a plan for distribution of the pellets/
tablets. The floor where pellets/tablets are to be placed must be
clean, dry, and unobstructed. Place paper sheets according to the dis-
tribution plan. Pour pellets/tablets onto the paper. In warm weather
placement should be completed within one-half hour after the flasks are
opened. Large buildings may require several operators to achieve place-
ment of pellets/tablets within allotted time. When exposure is com-
plete, open as many doors and vents as possible without entering the
warehouse. Enter after approximately 2 hours and open any additional
doors, louvers, or vents to aid ventilation. Operators should work in
pairs and wear approved gas masks. Activate any power ventilation sys-
tems and allow the building to air out for several hours. Test for
presence of phosphine gas.

of 1 inch apart to avoid overlapping. Tape only bag ends to the card-
board. Take the prepared boards into the car and secure 1 in each end,
bag side up, to the load. If the load is covered with paper, secure
cardboard to paper. If possible, drape remaining doorway with polyeth-
ylene film before door is closed. Secure edges to door jambs and floor.
Close and secure door. If doorway is not draped, seal cracks, openings,
and joints from the outside. When fumigating rail cars in-transit, pro-
vide the receiver with bag disposal instructions and first aid proce-
dures .
Bulk dry cargo vessels
Comply with the regulations found in U.S. Coast Guard Regulations,
46 CFR 147A. Determine if ship holds are constructed to permit an in-
transit fumigation without danger to the crew. Seal all openings but .
the main hatch opening. Secure and lock all openings and passages nor-
mally used to enter the hold. Arrange for enough manpower to complete
the preparations within 2 hours before phosphine gas begins to accumu-
late (refer to placement instructions under formulation subtopics).
Regularly monitor all areas and spaces of the ship for the presence of
phosphine until the ship leaves port. Check the tanks and holds for
leaks and reseal if necessary. Upon arrival into the port of discharge,
holds or tanks may be opened. Any phosphine in the free space above the
commodity will dissipate to the atmosphere. There may be some gas re-
maining in the commodity itself, but it will disappear as discharge
takes place. If it is necessary for workers to enter holds, the air
space directly above the commodity mass should be tested for phosphine.
If found in excess of allowed limits, extend aeration time.
Bagged form of aluminum phosphide: Open cans, remove bags, and insert
into the pockets of bag blankets. Place the bag blankets fully extend-
ed onto the commodity surface. Space them several feet apart so they
cannot overlap. Close the hatch and cover immediately after blankets
are in place. Pelleted/tableted form of aluminum phosphide: Scatter
pellets/tablets uniformly on commodity surface, insert with probe to
any depth desired, or add to commodity as storage area is filled.
Tankers , _ _ .
Comply with the regulations found in the U.S. Coast Guard Regulations,
46 CFR 147A. Determine if ship holds are constructed to permit an in-
transit fumigation without danger to the crew. The overspace pressure
relief system of each tank must be sealed by the closure of appropriate
valves and covering the overspace opening with gaatight materials.
Close secure, and seal the main hatch opening (big boy) and each auxil
ia" hatch owning (butterworth) immediately following the placement of
the' fumigating material (refer to placement instructions under ^la~
tion subtopicf). Post danger signs. All areas of the ship should be
monitored for presence of phosphine gas until the ship leaves port.

General Warnings and Limitations:
Warehouses and vaults
Tightly seal and lock all passageways to connecting buildings. Evacu-
ate buildings during fumigation. Determine beforehand a distribution
plan for placement of the bags. Floor are? selected should be clean,
dry, and unobstructed. Use as much of the floor space as possible to
spread out the bags. Very large buildings may require several opera-
tors to complete the placement within the one-half hour period before
phospbine gas is released. Operators should carry approved gas masks
at all times. Open cans in the open air outside of the building. Place
bags onto the floor in a systematic manner without overlapping or allow-
ing them to touch. Do not toss bags in inaccessible areas. Vacate
building and secure with a lock. For multiple story buildings, place-
ment should begin with the uppermost floor and end with the ground
floor. After required exposure time, open as many ground level doors as
possible without entering the building. Working in pairs and wearing
approved gas masks, enter the building after approximately 2 hours and
open remaining doors and windows. Permit building to air out several
hours, then test for the presence of phosphine gas. When the building
is free of gas, gather up all the spent bags and remove them from the
building. Check bag count with the original placement count.
Boxcars (static or rolling) and static trailer vans
Use 2 pieces of heavy cardboard.Divide the total dosage, using one-
half for each piece. Place the bags on the cardboard spaced a minimum
of 1 inch apart to avoid overlapping. Tape only bag ends to the card-
board. Take the prepared boards into the car and secure 1 in each end,
bag side up, to the load. If the load is covered with paper, secure
cardboard to paper. If possible, drape remaining doorway with Polyeth-
ylene film before door is closed. Secure edges to door jambs and floor.
Close and secure door. If doorway is not draped, seal cracks, openings,
and joints from the outside. When fumigating railcars in-transit, pro-
vide the receiver with bag disposal instructions and first aid proce
dures.
