Abstract
Residues of halogenated hydrocarbon 'liquid' fumigants occurring in cereals and their products as a result of use for insect control continue to be of concern in technologically advanced as well as developing countries. Carbon tetrachloride and ethylene dibromide residues remaining in wheat, maize, barley and sorghum shortly after fumigation, during storage for periods of up to 1 year and after processing were determined with the fumigants applied either as liquids or vapours. The amounts of residues occurring in bread made from wheat containing residual fumigants were also measured. Current methods of use of these fumigants are discussed with reference to the results of these experiments and interim recommendations are made for post-treatment handling of cereals
