Environmental hazards
Adverse Physical, Chemical, Significant Human Health and Environmental Effects (See also box 11): Contact with water liberates toxic, extremely flammable gas. Contact with acids liberates very toxic gas. Spontaneous combustion can arise due to sudden release of phosphine gas if a flask, having been opened once, is then re-opened. Mild exposure by inhalation causes malaise, ringing in the ears, fatigue, nausea and pressure in the chest. Moderate poisoning causes weakness, vomiting, and pains just above the stomach and in the chest, diarrhoea and difficulty in breathing. In severe cases coma, convulsions, pulmonary oedema and death occur. Adverse effects on the environment are unlikely, provided that the product is used as intended.
