Dans l'industrie, la phosphine trouve des applications en synthèse organique et comme agent dopant dans la fabrication des semi-conducteurs. La phosphine est principalement utilisée en tant qu'agent de fumigation pour le traitement des denrées alimentaires stockées et pour le traitement biocide de matériaux divers [...] Dans les conditions normales, la phosphine est un gaz incolore, légèrement plus lourd que l'air. Inodore à l'état pur, il possède généralement une odeur alliacée ou de poisson pourri, due à la présence d'impuretés [...] 2, record 1, French, - phosphine
