CSD refcode:	JICWUN
Layman's explanation:	Phosphine, also known as phosphane, hydrogen phosphide, or phosphorus hydride, is a toxic gas for insects (and humans) and has an odor of decaying fish. Phosphine is an air pollutant and a natural product of swamps and sewers. It is used as a grain fumigant and as an insecticide for fumigation of animal feed, leaf stored tobacco, box cars, and for rodent control. Phosphine is also widely employed as an industrial gas in silicon chip manufacture, in explosives, friction matches, fireworks, toothpaste, and detergents.
