Chemical health risk assessment for calcium carbide (CaC2) used as fruits ripening agent among farmers and fruits sellers

Calcium carbide (CaC2) is used as a chemical fruits ripening agent. A specific amount of phosphine gas (PH3) released from the CaC2 reaction with moisture is known to be toxic to respiratory system. This study was carried out to evaluate the potential risk of the CaC2 and PH3 among mango farmers and...
