Hi all, I was wondering if anyone on this list would be able to supply either references/links or information pertaining to off-gassing rates for methyl bromide. We are receiving packages from various countries that have been treated with methyl bromide and are finding it difficult to ascertain whether or not they will have off-gassed by the time we unpack them. Some, but not all, countries add something that smells if the methyl bromide is still off-gassing. Therefore we are not confident that we can rely on this method alone, and would really like to have some data about off-gassing times for our own peace of mind. Any help gratefully received.
