Methyl bromide fumigant lethal to Bacillus anthracis spores.

Margaret A Juergensmeyer1, Bruce A Gingras, Rudolf H Scheffrahn, Mark J Weinberg.   

Abstract

Methyl bromide (MB), an agricultural fumigant used in the United States, is capable of reducing or eliminating Bacillis anthracis spores. In the event of a bioterrorist attack, MB might serve as an excellent decontaminating agent because it leaves no residue and does not damage furnishings and commodities.
