| Resumen |
The concentration of methyl bromide in greenhouses was measured during and following soil fumigation (methyl bromide pumped into soil under plastic sheeting); gas concentrations were also measured at the time the soil was first cultivated after fumigation. Methyl bromide fumigation endangered both fumigation workers inside the greenhouse wearing self-contained respirators and workers outside the greenhouse operting the methyl-bromide vaporiser. Atmospheric concentrations during application ranged from 30 to 3000ppm and fell to 4ppm 5 days later. However, workers removing the plastic sheeting may be exposed for a few seconds to peak concentrations of 200ppm. Workers cultivating the soil 9 days aftr application may be exposed to 15ppm; 11 days after application, no methyl bromide could be detected in the air. |
