Types of residual gases found inside containers:

• Methyl Bromide: Colourless, odourless but highly toxic fumigant extensively used for quarantine fumigations. Attacks the central nervous system, has a cumulative effect
• Phosphine: Another fumigant gas, with a safe concentration level more than 16 times lower than methyl bromide
• Formaldehyde: Recently classified in the EU as carcinogenic, this gas is emitted from wood glues and certain other timber products
• Other Gases: Hydrogen cyanide, chloropicrin, ethylene dibromide are amongst a range of gases found inside shipping containers shipped internationally

Extraction Performance

Nordiko's system performance recorded at an operating warehouse in Sydney showed removal of methyl bromide from a level more than 8 times the safe level, to well below the safe level, in a matter of minutes.

Regulations:

• WorkSafe in Victoria has issued guidelines requiring 24 hour open-door ventilation of fumigated shipping containers before unpacking should commence (unless mechanical ventilation/monitoring methods are used)
• The Australian Standard Fumigation Procedures requires ventilation of containers after fumigation – until "safe" levels have been reached: European experience is that this can take days

Practical Matters:

• Without monitoring it is not possible to determine if a shipping container is safe to enter
• Even containers not marked as having been fumigated have been found to have unsafe levels of residual gases inside
• AQIS regulations now prohibit officers from entering previously fumigated shipping containers
