Careers. You can review and change the way we collect information below. Sulfuryl fluoride (also spelled sulphuryl fluoride) is an inorganic compound with the formula SO 2 F 2. Sulfurylfluorid ist ein farb- und geruchloses Gas, das als Insektizid bei Lebensmitteln wie Getreide, Nssen, Schalen- und Trockenfrchten verwendet wird. After fumigation is complete and the sulfuryl fluoride is released from the building or exposure chamber, the gas moves outward swiftly from the area of containment. Roth, H.1973. Effects of CO2 fumigation on pH. Vikane was found to be teratogenic in animals only when it reached levels at which the mother was injured or killed. VIKANE (SULFURYL FLUORIDE) has, thus far, been an effective structural fumigant. bZ5V.2wlgh?4GT,9~!-pw> ' WT5075000. The concentration of sulfuryl fluoride can be monitored during fumigation using a Fumiscope, a thermoconductivity unit that reads from 0.621000 g/m3(150240,000 ppm).

Although Vikane is a gas at atmospheric conditions, it is stored in cylinders as a liquid under its own pressure. Also, through a contract with GCI, a group at the University of Florida is reevaluating fumigant concentrations recommended for structures to determine the lowest levels that may be used in controlled museum applications.

CDC is not responsible for Section 508 compliance (accessibility) on other federal or private website. (1998). As a result, fumigators are obliged to discharge a warning chemical such as chloropicrin (tear gas) into the building when the fumigation process starts and continues. While the concentrations of these low-level impurities (HF, HCl, Cl2, SO2 and ethylene dichloride) may not be high enough after dispersal to cause observable changes to materials, their presence is important since most of them are highly reactive. Overall, the size of the study group for sulfuryl fluoride was too small to allow investigators to draw statistically significant conclusions on the long-term effects on humans of using Vikane fumigant. Estos fumigantes se usan para exterminar termitas en los edificios. She subsequently obtained an M.Sc. 0000014183 00000 n FAO Agricultural StudiesUNIPUB, Inc., New York. The answer to the question says that if you eat food exposed to Vikane gas, it will kill you. Vikane gas fumigant, when used by trained experts, may eradicate bed bugs from a single piece of furniture, bedding, or other household items to a whole home or building with all of its contents. Osbrink, W.L.A., R. H.Scheffrahn, R. C.Hsu, and N. Y.Su. It is labeled for use in museum chambers by licensed fumigators, either on staff or on a contract basis. We found small differences in performance on 2 tests of the nervous system, among the men who worked with the fumigant, sulfuryl fluoride (Vikane), compared to non exposed workers. For safety reasons, Dow recommends that trace amounts of chloropicrin, a highly acrid, lachrymal gas, be released in the structure prior to fumigation as a warning agent. 0000045010 00000 n 5E&v3KLg the fumigant is likely to be directly toxic to humans in the gas phase and may also leave harmful residual compounds in the fumigated artifact.

El otro grupo tena aproximadamente la misma edad y estaba formado de amigos o vecinos de los trabajadores expuestos. The fumigation food safety is the process of exposing food to gaseous chemicals in order to kill insects and other pests. This is the case with sulfuryl fluoride, which has a mechanism of toxicity that does not intersect (or overlap) with that of phosphine, but which nonetheless exhibits complementary properties to those of phosphine that improve pest control efficacy: sulfuryl fluoride is fast acting and controls phosphine-resistant insects, whereas phosphine is . Another case was reported recently in Art Hazards News(McCann 1987) in which an elderly couple died after returning to their house, which had been fumigated with sulfuryl fluoride, aerated, and certified safe for reentry (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report 1987). 0000001425 00000 n HWWb2GXv|6kAZC$ A`Ud>"#3?.KtE_Nu>9~|tx@)4$JlNZj5'b//NwZh!a{9m/Q^N}zv['dLo/?7?>OnA[|M?

However, Vikane does decompose when exposed to high temperatures (>400C) to form a toxic, reactive gas consisting of hydrofluoric acid and sulfur dioxide (Dow Chemical Co. 1982). McCann, M.1987.

Derrick, M.1989. Sulfuryl fluoride, sold commercially as a fumigant by Dow Chemical Company under its trademark Vikane, is currently being examined for use in museums and historic structures as a pest control agent. VIKANE (SULFURYL FLUORIDE) has, thus far, been an effective structural fumigant. 1963. % Another study indicated that fluoride was the primary toxin and that the glycolysis process was blocked, which inhibited the insect's mechanism to maintain a sufficient source of energy (Meikle, Stewart, and Globus 1963).

While little to no visible damage to materials is noted when Vikane is properly used, the selection criteria for a museum fumigant must be founded on an in-depth analysis of its possible effect on the physical and chemical properties of exposed artifacts. 1985. Those studies also found that persons who worked with Vikane for many years did not score as well on some tests of the nervous system as did workers who never worked with the sulfuryl fluoride. Sulfuryl fluoride released from homes rapidly spreads out in . Journal of Economic Entomology. Structure may be reoccupied when the concentration Vikane is 5 ppm or less. At room temperature, sulfuryl fluoride has a vapor pressure of 13,400 mm Hg, more than eight times greater than that of methyl bromide. in protein chemistry from the chemistry department of the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada) and a Masters of Art Conservation from Queen's University (Kingston, Ontario), specializing in conservation science. between two and three days.

Using kill efficiency studies Kenaga (1957) demonstrated that Vikane penetrates materials and soil much better than methyl bromide. Furthermore, it was found that fluoride ion, a decomposition product of Vikane, is present as an inorganic residue in wheat flour. It does not have any known side effects, but it may cause irritation to the lungs and eyes. Little visible damage on materials of objects has been reported in fumigations with Vikane when . 1978.

Toxicological hazards and properties of commonly used space, structural and certain fumigants. The fumigation will have no effect on clothing, bedding, furniture, toys, or kitchenware. While staying in the house during termite tenting spells death for animals, people, and plants, sulfuryl fluoride evaporates quickly once the tent is removed. Sulfur difluoride dioxide, Vikane Colorless, odorless gas. An extensive study on the effects of Vikane on various materials and its suitability for use in museum chambers and structural fumigations is being conducted by the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) in conjunction with the Canadian Conservation Institute (CCI) and the Smithsonian Institution's Conservation Analytical Laboratory (CAL). The chemicals employed during the fumigation will quickly dissipate and their toxicity will decrease if you wait a few days. For example, methyl bromide reacts with sulfur-containing materials such as furs, hair, feathers, and leather goods producing a malodorous product (Dow Chemical Co. 1957).
