Minute quantities of phosphine were added to several cereal products and inert materials to investigate if temperature, duration of contact, and various aeration conditions would alter recovery. Previous experiments had shown that phosphine could diffuse through porous materials quite readily, so diffusion studies were also conducted at room temperature and elevated temperature conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
