Fumigant emission reductions with TIF warrant regulatory changes
California Agriculture, 2013 With methyl bromide's phase-out, most growers have turned to alternative fumigants, particularly 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) and chloropicrin. These alternatives are tightly regulated because they are classified as toxic air contaminants and volatile ...
