ABSTRACT BODY: Abstract: Although many different chemicals have been used as fumigants for agricultural products and soils, we have focused on some of the more common fumigants that can be detected by gas chromtaography (GC) using a photoionization detector (PID). These include methyl bromide, 1,3 dichloropropene, phosphine and methyl isothiocyanate (MITC). Deaths from fumigants have occurred in ships, grain elevators, soil fumigation, green houses, and even residential sites. A field method for detecting common

PID Analyzers, LLC, Sandwich, MA, United States.  ABSTRACT BODY:  Abstract:  There are many situations today that require rapid identification of air toxics in the field. These include spills, train derailments, significant chemical plant leaks, hazardous waste cleanups and more. The equipment must be light weight, battery operated, rugged, sensitive (ppb) or even sub ppb (with a concentrator), and most of all easy to use by first r
