Gaseous insecticides, such as methyl bromide and methallyl chloride, are being used on an increasing scale against insects attacking stored products such as grain, tobacco, etc. Their use involves two possible dangers. In the first place, the worker may be poisoned either during the actual gassing operation or during the preparatory period. Secondly, there is the possible danger to consumers through the absorption of these furnigants into the stored product.
