    Title
    Measuring the amount of gas in import containers
    Translated Title
    Gasmetingen in importcontainers
    Publiekssamenvatting
    A study was carried out to gain insight into the total number of containers being imported into the Netherlands via Rotterdam harbour, that still contain remnants of gaseous pesticides. The study also checked to see if a 'risk profile' could be drawn up for certain containers due to remnants of gaseous pesticides, depending on the country of origin, cargo or labelling.The study concluded that - - the pesticides methyl bromide, formaldehyde and phosphine were found in 21% of the random sample of 303 containers - sulfuryl fluoride was not found in any of the containers - 15% of the containers represented a risk due to low oxygen levels, risk of explosion or carbon dioxide/carbon monoxide levels higher than the accepted MAC values (a well-known standard in the Netherlands for maximum concentrations of substances) for these compounds - 20% of the containers formed a risk, either due to the presence of pesticides, or as a result of other parameters - a sample profile focusing on containers of foodstuffs could result in double the number of containers being found to include gaseous pesticides
    Er is onderzoek verricht naar de aanwezigheid van gasvormige bestrijdingsmiddelen in containers die via de Rotterdamse haven in Nederland worden ingevoerd. Tevens is onderzocht of een risicoprofiel op grond van herkomst, lading of etikettering kon worden gemaakt, van de containers die onder andere in verband met restanten gasvormige Uit het onderzoek is gebleken dat - in eenentwintig procent van de onderzochte steekproef van driehonderddrie containers de bestrijdingsmiddelen methylbromide, formaldehyde of fosfine zijn aangetoond-in geen van de onderzochte containers sulfurylfluoride is aangetoond - in vijftien procent van de onderzochte containers sprake is van een risico ten gevolge van een te laag zuurstofgehalte, explosiegevaar of een kooldioxide- of koolmonoxidegehalte hoger dan de MAC-waarden voor deze verbindingen - in totaal twintig procent van de onderzochte containers een risico vormde, ofwel als gevolg van aanwezigheid van bestrijdingsmiddelen, ofwel als gevolg van overige parameters - een monsternameprofiel gericht op containers met voedingsmiddelen een verdubbeling van het percentage aangetroffen containers met gasvormige bestrijdingsmiddelen tot gevolg kan hebben.
