Description Some of the fumigants which are being used against insects can also exert
good microbicidal properties At present, some of these chemicals, are being
used eo sterilize chambers, jute bags and medical appliances Recently,
attempts have been made to use these fumigants or gaseous sterilents to control
moulds in grains and processed food materials and in tum to retard the deteriorative
changes during storage
The advantage of tbese gaseous sterilents are: their diffusibility througb
containers of plastic paper, wood or fabrics; ability to sterlize in situ in packets;
high penetrability ineo the bulk commodity which the inorganic chemicals do
nOt posses; and finally non-persistent nature The disadvantages in the use
of many of these fumigants are, their inllammability, toxicity hazards. reaction

problems of handling.
