ProFume / Vikane Does leaves a residue and it is at Hazardous levels for Humans. Why else would the food need to be either removed or double-bagged in airtight plastic bags. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.160.98.146 (talk • contribs)
- Could be because of the tear gas that is added to SO2F2 for structure fumigation purpose. Please note that talk pages are used to discuss the article, not to discuss general questions. Those go to the reference desk. Dr Zak 20:34, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- As far as I understand, inorganic fluoride levels in food are increased after application due to partial decomposition of sulfuryl fluoride, and the US EPA allowed the resulting increased levels of inorganic fluoride levels based on a request by the manufacturer, see e.g. http://fluoridealert.org/pesticides/sulfuryl.fluoride.abstracts.htm.
Why are eggs of insects so much more tolerant than the other stages of insects? (Reichmuth, Berlin)
I have a fumigation notice in my house from '97 that says Vikane was used. I live in California. I seriously doubt that it wasn't approved in 2006, unless it was used, in this case, illegally. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.173.130.164 (talk) 01:50, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
