NON-SOIL FUMIGATION PT.2
(CHAPTERS 5-8 EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 100% PASS.
Describe the difference between fumigant pesticides vs non-fumigant pesticides -
ANS fumigants are pesticides the spread on there own through the soil and don't require
stirring or aeration to work, this is due to there volatility
non fumigant pesticides typically are
when handling methyl bromide what should you not wear? - ANS gloves, rubber boots
because rubber absorbs methyl bromide which can cause burns
True or false you can wear goggles when using methyl bromide? - ANS False you may only
wear a full-face shield or safety glasses (only plastic)
describe the difference in ppe between a handler and non handler when using methyl bromide -
ANS fumigation workers that are not expected to come in contact with methyl bromide are
supposed to wear long sleeves, long pants, shoes, and socks
compared to fumigators who are going to handle the chemical, who will wear chemical resistant
gloves and apron as well as plastic Eyewear and shoes with socks
ppe for phosphine - ANS only light weight cotton gloves for solid phosphine, loose fitting
clothing so residues will not get trapped against the skin or exposed to perspiration. gloves must
remain dry and all clothing worn should be aerated first before washing.

, what kind of gloves are recommended for handling phosphine in cylinders(solutions) -
ANS leather work gloves or leather faced cotton gloves
when is respiratory protection required when dealing with phosphine? - ANS when gas
detection levels are .3ppm or higher
ppe for chloropicrin - ANS respiratory equipment is required when concentration above 0.1
ppm
ppe for sulfuryl fluoride - ANS splash resistant goggles or full face shield
no gloves or rubber boots
loose fitting long sleeve
if concentration over 1 ppm a supplied air respirator is required
ppe for methyl bromide - ANS no jewelry or gloves, nothing tight against your skin
supplied air respirator required past 5 ppm
if a fumigant calls for respirators, what 3 requirements must the site meet - ANS guidelines
for fit testing and education for respirator users
medical evaluations before fit testing, fit checks
written operation and maintenance procedures
Air-Purifying Respirator (APR) - ANS Respirator that removes contaminants by passing
ambient air through a filter, cartridge, or canister; may have a full or partial facepiece.
Particulate respirator - ANS also known as "air-purifying respirators" because they protect by
filtering particles out of the air you breathe. Workers can wear any one of the particulate
respirators for protection against diseases spread through the air- if they are NIOSH approved
and if they have been properly fit- tested and maintained. NIOSH-approved disposable
respirators are marked with the manufacturer's name, the part number (P/N), the protection
provided by the filter (e.g., N-95), and "NIOSH." "95" refers to the percentage of particles
filtered.
