Extremely Toxic Spray Coming
Quick find code: 23-24-237-66228939
I've Googled it. Here is what I found in the FAQ's. Reading them I don't think you or others have anything to worry about.
Dibrom is an insecticide that has been registered by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) since 1959 for use in the United States. It is used primarily for controlling adult mosquitoes. It is also used on food and feed crops, livestock pastures, and in greenhouses for controlling black flies, houseflies, gnats, and certain other nuisance insects. Dibrom is a colorless liquid with a slightly pungent odor. When applied in accordance with the recommended amount and the safety precautions on the label, Dibrom can be used to kill mosquitoes without endangering human health or the environment.
Q. How is Dibrom used in mosquito Control?
In mosquito control programs, Dibrom is usually applied as an ultra-low volume (ULV) spray by truck- mounted or aircraft-mounted sprayers. ULV sprayers dispense very fine aerosol droplets that stay aloft and kill mosquitoes on contact. ULV applications involve small quantities of the pesticide in relation to the size of the area to be treated. Depending upon the commercial formulation, the rate of application for Dibrom in mosquito control ranges between 0.5-1.2 ounces per acre. At this rate, exposure and risks to humans, animals, and the environment are minimal.
Dibrom immediately begins to breakdown upon release of the spray droplets in the open air. Dibrom also breaks down rapidly in water and in sunlight. Microorganisms breakdown most of the Dibrom in soil before it reaches the groundwater. One of the breakdown products of Dibrom is called DDVP, which is very short-lived and does not persist in the environment.
