• Description: Zinc phosphide, trizinc diphosphide, is an amorphous gray-black powder with a garlic-like odor. It is practically insoluble in water (decomposes slowly), ethanol, slightly soluble in carbon disulfide, and benzene [9, p. 967]. Zinc phosphide is produced by heating finely powdered zinc with phosphorus (10).
• Uses: Rodenticide. Zinc phosphide has been used since the second world war, and is most commonly used as an effective insecticide and rodenticide. Zinc phosphide is highly toxic due to its production of phosphine gas, and can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and dyspnea in those (animal or human) that are exposed.
