Quiz Vikane Fumigation Manual & How To Measure a Structure Part 2

Research indicates that when chloropicrin is applied according to label directions at each introduction site for Vikane, it will rapidly reach and maintain warning concentrations throughout the fumigated space for the fumigation exposure period.              True or False

Chloropicrin should be introduced:
On each floor of a multi-story structure.
At each introduction site of Vikane.
In areas without excessive furnishings and contents to adsorb chloropicrin.
True or False

Follow all label, state and local regulations for: conducting the final inspection to insure the fumigation site is vacated of people, pets, and domestic animals prior to fumigant introduction; securing structure entrances; and posting of warning signs. State and local regulations may require additional security measures, such as posting of guards.      True or False

Considerations for introduction location selection include: One fumigant introduction site for each 20,000 to
45,000 cu ft in residential dwellings or similar compartmentalized structures is recommended.    True or False

Considerations for introduction location selection include: At least one introduction site on each floor of a
multi-story structure is recommended. Unfinished attics and crawlspaces generally are not used as introduction
sites to introduce Vikane due to the potential for fog-outs.        True or False

Secure the introduction hose to the introduction fan, an introduction stand or by other means to avoid damaging surfaces, furnishings or structural features.       True or False

A commonly used method is to securely attach the introduction hose to a tarp clamp and then use the tarp clamp to attach the hose to the fan cage. The fan cage is then angled upward at about 45°.         True or False

Chloropicrin must be used within the structure at least 5 to 10 minutes prior to the introduction of Vikane.
True or False

To confirm the total oz-hr dosage accumulated, the fumigated space will need to be monitored at two time intervals occurring approximately at equilibrium and prior to aeration.       True or False

The Fumiguide electronic calculator can be used for both non-monitored and monitored fumigations.
True or False

Aeration Procedures 1 and 2 require the applicator to aerate the structure with operable doors and windows open and with the aid of one or more fans for a minimum of one hour.         True or False

Until the final clearance is verified, the structure is still considered under fumigation and appropriate precautions are to be taken, such as warning signs remaining posted on all entrances.        True or False

Do not allow reoccupancy of any fumigated area until the aeration and clearing process is complete according to directions and concentrations of Vikane do not exceed 1 ppm as determined by the use of a detection device with sufficient sensitivity.          True or False

Researchers have observed a delay in mortality of three to five days following exposure to Vikane.  Therefore, judgment of the success of the fumigation should not be made on the presence of live organisms immediately following the fumigation.            True or False

A suitable atmospheric fumigation chamber consists of a sufficiently gas-tight room with an appropriate door. An application system, exhaust fan and a small circulation fan for gas distribution are recommended.     True or False

Passenger railcars and empty and loaded shipping containers, trucks, automobiles, busses, recreational vehicles (including campers and trailers), surface ships, and other transport vehicles or vessels may be fumigated in essentially the same manner as small structures.         True or False

If vessels are sealed by tarping, it is common practice to extend the tarps below the water surface, unless restricted by local or state regulations, taking into consideration the change in water level in tidal water and how this may affect tarps sealed around the lines mooring the boat to the dock.           True or False

18.One procedure for securing passenger railcars is a thorough walk through inspection must be performed of each railcar with doors being immediately locked upon leaving each car. Post a guard during fumigation introduction, exposure period, and aeration. Because a guard is posted, application of a warning agent is not required for passenger railcars.              True or False

In measuring a structure for a fumigation the formula is Length X width X height = square feet.     True or False

A structure 20 feet long, 12 feet wide with an average height of 12 feet, the total cubic feet is 2,180.       True or False
