| Subject | Approval for hydrogen phosphide fumigation in Hokkaido in the winter. | ||
| Details of Measures | It was explained that it is impossible to give prompt approval to hydrogen phosphide fumigation in silos in Hokkaido in the winter since it would create a potentially explosive situation as the massive frosts react with the aluminum phosphide. However, date is being collected from all parties concerned and study will be given to approval if it is possible to find a way to avoid this danger and still gain the full effects of such fumigation and if arrangements can be made to implement this. | ||
