Abstrakt: This article presents a study which was focused on toxicity of diisopropyl methyiphosphonate (DIMP) to aquatic organisms. DIMP is a by-product of the manufacture and detoxification of the nerve gas isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate. For the study, DIMP , which was more than 99 percent pure, was obtained from the U.S. Army Center for Environmental Health Research, Fort Detrick, Maryland. The acute and chronic toxicity data indicate that DIMP is not a potential risk to aquatic organisms at either the Rocky Mountain Arsenal or Aberdeen Proving Ground.
