✌️✌️ hey mate,

➡️What happens to zinc phosphide when it enters the body?

•In both humans and animals, stomach acid causes the zinc phosphide to release phosphine.

•If someone inhales zinc phosphide dust, the dust will be cleared from the lungs and then swallowed. 

•Once in the stomach, the dust will be converted to phosphine.


thanks....
nice to help you ✌️✌️

Zinc phosphide is an inorganic compound that combines phosphorus with zinc. It is used in rodenticide baits.
when zinc phosphide id injected to humans, stomach acid causes it to release the toxic gas phosphine. The phosphine in the stomach then crosses into body's cells and stops the cells from producing energy. This causes the cells to die. Zinc phosphide affects all cells, but targets cells in the heart, lungs and liver.
