Abstract
Aluminum phosphide (AlP) is a potent pesticide that is used for the protection of stored grains and as a rodenticide. It has currently aroused interest with the increasing number of human poisoning in the past four decades. Studies show that AlP is a preferred poison for committing suicide since it is cheap, easy to buy, and effective. Death rates caused by AlP poisoning have been demonstrated as high as 70–100%. In Egypt, AlP poisoning is an alarming health problem with increasing rates of poisoning especially due to the lack of control on selling AlP tablets. The unawareness of the people of the danger of AlP is another factor.
