Chloropicrin is a slightly oily, colorless faintly yellow liquid of the formula 3 2. Its freezing point is -69.2 °C and its boiling point is 112 °C, where it partially decomposes to phosgene and nitrosyl chloride. It is denser than water. It is more toxic than chlorine but less than phosgene. Its CAS number is . ...more on Wikipedia about "Chloropicrin"
1,2-Dibromoethane is a manufactured chemical. It also occurs naturally in small amounts in the ocean where it is formed, probably by algae and kelp. It is a colorless liquid with a mild, sweet odor. Other names for 1,2-dibromoethane are ethylene dibromide, ethylene bromide, EDB, and glycol bromide. It is manufactured by the reaction of ethylene with bromine. Trade names include Bromofume and Dowfume. ...more on Wikipedia about "Ethylene dibromide"
Fumigation is a method of pest control that completely fills an area with gaseous pesticides (which are not toxic if used properly) to suffocate or poison the pests within. It is utilized for control of pests in buildings (structural fumigation), soil, grain, and produce, and is also used during processing of goods to be imported or exported to prevent transfer of exotic organisms. ...more on Wikipedia about "Fumigation"
Hydrogen cyanide is a chemical compound with chemical formula HCN. A solution of hydrogen cyanide in water is called hydrocyanic acid or prussic acid. Pure hydrogen cyanide is a colorless, very poisonous, and highly volatile liquid that boils slightly above room temperature at 26 °C, thereby generating hydrogen cyanide gas. Hydrogen cyanide has a faint, bitter, almond-like odor that some people are unable to smell due to a genetic trait. Hydrogen cyanide is weakly acidic and partly converts to the cyanide ion CN– in aqueous solution, resulting in a colorless volatile liquid with the typical hydrogen cyanide odor. The salts of hydrogen cyanide are known as cyanides. ...more on Wikipedia about "Hydrogen cyanide"
Orthophenyl phenol, 2-phenyl phenol, o-phenyl phenol, 2-hydroxybiphenyl, o-xenol, or orthoxenol, is a phenolic biocide used as a preservative. It has the appearance of colorless crystalline flakes, with melting point 55-57 °C. It has trade name Dowicide and Torsite. It has relatively low toxicity and mild characteristic odor. ...more on Wikipedia about "Orthophenyl phenol"
Phosphine is the common name for phosphorus hydride (PH3), also known by the IUPAC name phosphane. It is a colorless, flammable gas with a boiling point of −88 °C at standard pressure. Pure phosphine is odorless, but "technical grade" phosphine has a highly unpleasant odor like garlic or rotting fish, due to the presence of substituted phosphine and diphosphine (P2H4). ...more on Wikipedia about "Phosphine"
Sodium orthophenyl phenol is a preservative, used to treat the surface of citrus fruits to prolong shelf life. It is a sodium salt of orthophenyl phenol. ...more on Wikipedia about "Sodium orthophenyl phenol"
Sulfuryl fluoride (F2O2S)is a toxic inorganic gas developed by the Dow Chemical Company and sold under the trade name Vikane. It is mainly used as a structural fumigant insecticide to control dry-wood termites. It recently began use as a post-harvest fumigant for dry fruits, nuts and grains. For this use it is sold under the trade name ProFume. ...more on Wikipedia about "Sulfuryl fluoride"
