-
Ethylene dibromide (EDB)
is a pesticide fumigant used for protecting standing crops and
preserving stored grains in some countries.
-
Ethylene dibromide is a
colorless liquid that is heavier than water. It has a characteristic
chloroform-like odor.
-
Ethylene dibromide is
used as an antiknock additive in gasoline.
-
Ethylene dibromide was
used to kill fruit flies on citrus fruits and in the soil to protect
grasses in environments such as golf courses.
-
It is used sparingly
today as a [fumigant] to kill termites and cockroach.
-
Ethylene Dibromide is a
DOT Poison Inhalation Hazard (PIH).
-
Ethylene dibromide is a
severe mucous membrane, eye, and skin irritant. It is a liver, kidney,
and lung toxin, and a reproductive toxin in
experimental animals.
Ethylene dibromide has been determined to be carcinogenic by the
inhalation, ingestion, and dermal routes of exposure
-
Ethylene dibromide is
toxic through inhalation, dermal exposure, ingestion or ocular
absorption. It is metabolized both by cytochrome P450 and GST
enzymes.
-
The fastest degradation
of EDB occurs at or near the soil surface. EDB is moderately persistent
in the soil environment; a representative field half-life was estimated
to be 100 days.
-
EDB was removed from use
as a soil fumigant in the United States in 1983.It is still used in
other applications.
-
The cases of ethylene
dibromide poisoning are observed for the last 5 years in the state of
Madhya Pradesh especially in Bhopal region. The trend however found in
increasing order.
-
Groundwater
contamination of EDB has been confirmed at levels up to 0.3 mg/L. Usual
levels of EDB found in groundwater were approximately 0.001 to
0.02 mg/L, which are similar to levels found in stored grain
products. |
