New Zealand calls for submissions on fumigant EDN
Jan. 12, 2012

The New Zealand Environmental Protection Authority is calling for submissions on an application by BOC Gases New Zealand to import the gas ethanedinitrile (EDN) for use as a fumigant for soil, grain, logs and timber.
In its application, BOC describes EDN as an “effective alternative fumigant to both methyl bromide and phosphine”. EDN is a flammable compressed gas that degrades rapidly in soil.
EDN was developed by Linde Gases and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) of Australia. Linde is constructing a new plant in the Czech Republic and has begun the registration process in several countries (AgroNews 2011-11-17).
Submissions from the public and interested parties are now being sought.
