The use reports do not include chemicals for which a permit is not required.8 The EPA's Restricted Use Products (RUP) Report9 was searched for the chemicals reportedly applied to the subject property. Based on this source, it appears that, of the agricultural chemicals reportedly applied to the subject property, only those containing aluminum phosphide, bifenthrin, chloropyrifos, diazinon, hydrogen cyanamide, iprodione, lambda cyhalothrin, methidathion, methyl bromide and paraquat dichloride are RUPs. The U.C. Davis Extension Toxicology Network (EXTOXNET) web site10 was consulted for additional information on these chemicals. According to EXTOXNET, aluminum phosphide is an inorganic phosphide used to control insects and rodents in a variety of settings. Aluminum phosphide rapidly reacts with water to form highly toxic phosphine gas. It has been reported that aluminum phosphide may be absorbed directly into the bloodstream, although this is probably a very minor route of entry. Aluminum phosphide will breakdown spontaneously in the presence of water to form a gaseous product, and so it is non-persistent and non-mobile in the soil environment, and poses no risk to groundwater. According to EXTOXNET, bifenthrin is an insecticide and acaricide which affects the nervous system and causes paralysis in insects. It is very highly toxic to fish and aquatic organisms.
