Abstract

Studies on the action of the widely used fumigants, hydrogen cyanide, phosphine, methyl bromide, carbon tetrachloride, ethylene dichloride, and ethylene dibromide, are reviewed with a view to establishing some of the biochemical lesions responsible for the toxicity of fumigants to insects. The modes of action of ethylene oxide, carbon disulphide, sulphuryl fluoride, and methyl chloroform are also briefly discussed.
