BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Phosphides used as an insecticide and rodenticide, produce phosphine (PH3) which causes accidental and intentional poisoning cases and deaths. There is no specific treatment or antidote available for PH3poisoning. It is suggested that PH3-induced toxicity is associated with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) depletion; therefore, in this study the effect of some nutrients was ...

A formulation of zinc phosphide with reduced active ingredient (40% concentrate) was evaluated for its rodenticidal activity in wheat, rice and sugarcane crops at farmer fields Punjab, India. Comparison made the existing (80% second generation anticoagulant bromadiolone (0.25% concentrate). Cereal based baits containing different doses new (1.5, 2.0 2.5%) (2%) (0.005%) were applied through burr...

Phosphine (PH3), from hydrolysis of metal phosphides, is an important insecticide (aluminum phosphide) and rodenticide (zinc phosphide) and is considered genotoxic and cytotoxic in mammals. This study tests the hypothesis that PH3-induced genotoxicity and cytotoxicity are associated with oxidative stress by examining liver (Hepa 1c1c7) cells for possible relationships among cell death, increase...

Aluminium Phosphide poisoning and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency are two commonly seen clinical presentations in Iran. However, hemolysis associated with Aluminium Phosphide poisoning is very rare. We report a case of concurrent Aluminium Phosphide poisoning and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in a 24 year old man presenting with intravascular hemolysis.

Recommended methods for disposal of aluminium phosphide may involve burial. A range of aluminium phosphide preparations used for fumigation consisting of partially spent, and unspent commercial phosphine (PH3) generating aluminium phosphide formulations (blankets and sachets, pellets, and tablets), was buried for 19 months. Phosphine produced by the formulations during this period was monitored...
