4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayedPhosphine is a super- toxic gas with a probable oral lethal dose of 5 mg/kg or 7 drops for a 150 pound person. An air concentration of 3 ppm is safe for long term exposure, 500 ppm is lethal in 30 minutes, and a concentration of 1,000 ppm is lethal after a few breaths. (EPA, 1998)

5.Fire-fighting measures 5.1 Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing mediaEvacuation: If fire becomes uncontrollable or container is exposed to direct flame - consider evacuation of one-third (1/3) mile radius.
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemicalPhosphine can explode with powerful oxidizers. The gas is heavier than air and may travel along the ground to an ignition source. Container may explode in heat of fire. When heated to decomposition, it emits highly toxic fumes of phosphorus oxides. Reacts violently with: air; boron trichloride; bromine; chlorine; chlorine monoxide; nitric acid; nitric oxide; nitrous oxide; nitrogen trioxide; silver nitrate; nitrous acid; mercuric nitrate; nitrogen trichloride; oxygen; and (potassium plus ammonia). Stable up to 131F. May become unstable at high temperatures. (EPA, 1998)
5.3 Special protective actions for fire-fightersWear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
6.Accidental release measures 6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency proceduresUse personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing dust. For personal protection see section 8.
6.2 Environmental precautionsEvacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Ventilation. Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus.
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning upARSINE AND PHOSPHINE WERE REMOVED FROM WASTE GASES OF SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURE BY OZONE OXIDATION AND CARBON ADSORPTION.
7.Handling and storage 7.1 Precautions for safe handlingAvoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. For precautions see section 2.2.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilitiesFireproof. Keep in a well-ventilated room.STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS. INDOOR STORAGE The storage of poison gases in occupied spaces is not recommended. Indoor storage in a separate building with no other occupancy is suitable. The building should be adequately ventilated and equipped with a continuous phosphine monitoring and alarm system that is activated at the TLV of 0.3 ppm. In some jurisdictions, the indoor storage of toxic gases is prohibited. OUTDOOR STORAGE. It is recommended that both full and used VAPORPH3OS Phosphine Fumigant cylinders be stored outdoors in a dedicated and properly designed and labeled storage area. The following are recommended for outdoor storage: A firm and level surface, preferably reinforced concrete, well drained. A secured and locked area. Cylinders should never be stored where the temperature will exceed 125 deg F (51.7°C). A means of securing all cylinders. Away from building ventilation intakes. SECURING CYLINDERS. Cylinders must be stored in an upright position and protected from falling. Protection against falls can include the use of cylinder pallets with straps, walls and securing chains, or pens constructed from steel handrail or like construction. /VAPORPH3OS Phosphine Fumigant/

10.2 Chemical stabilitySTABLE UP TO 55 DEG C
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactionsPure phosphine does not spontaneously ignite in air below 150°C unless it is thoroughly dried, when it ignites in cold air. The presence of traces (0.2%) of diphosphane in phosphine as normally prepared causes it to ignite spontaneously in air, even at below -15°C ... Traces of oxidants promote pyrophoricity.The gas is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.Vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along the ground and collect and stay in poorly-ventilated, low-lying, or confined areas (e.g., sewers, basements, and tanks).Hazardous concentrations may develop quickly in enclosed, poorly-ventilated, or low-lying areas. Keep out of these areas. Stay upwind.PHOSPHINE is a reducing agent. Ignites spontaneously in air when pure [Sidgwick, 1950, p. 729]. Liquefied phosphine can be detonated [Rust, 1948, p. 301]. Ignites or reacts violently with boron trichloride, dichlorine oxide, halogens (bromine, chlorine, iodine), metal nitrates, nitrogen oxides, nitric acid, nitrous acid, nitrogen trichloride [Bretherick, 5th ed., 1995, p. 1562]. Forms explosive mixtures with even small amounts of oxygen. Autoignites at low pressures [Fisher, E. O. et al., Angew. Chem., 1968, 7, p. 136].

12.4 Mobility in soilPhosphine is a gas(1) and expected to volatilize rapidly from water and both moist and dry soil(SRC) however studies have shown that phosphine may bind to soil(2). Laboratory studies do suggest that phospine present below the soil surface is quicikly adsorbed and degraded(3). A 50% degradation rate after 11 days in water saturated soil was observed using gaseous phosphine added to soil headspace at 1000 mg/kg dry soil in closed containers(3). Phosphine interaction with soil is soil-type dependent(3).
12.5 Other adverse effectsno data available
13.Disposal considerations 13.1 Disposal methods ProductThe material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Contaminated packagingContainers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
