What's the difference between fumigant and stibine?
Fumigant
Definition:
(a.) Fuming.
Example Sentences:

(4) Methyl bromide is commonly used as a soil fumigant in greenhouses.
(5) The recent trends in the possible use of irradiation as an alternative treatment to chemical fumigants for disinfestation of citrus and avocados and the prospects for the future application of irradiation for preservation of some of these fruits are outlined.
(6) Methyl bromide is a nearly odorless, volatile hydrocarbon used as a fumigant in the food industry.
(7) A field trial was conducted near Kelowna, British Columbia, to determine the effect of biological treatments alone and in combination with formalin fumigation in apple replant disease soil.

(9) To examine whether long term occupational exposure to ethylene dibromide (EDB) affects semen quality a cross sectional study of semen quality was conducted among 46 men employed in the papaya fumigation industry in Hawaii, with an average duration of exposure of five years and a geometric mean breathing zone exposure to airborne EDB of 88 ppb (eight hour time weighted average) and peak exposures of up to 262 ppb.
(10) Methyl bromide and bromide ion concentrations were estimated in pasta manufactured before and after fumigation with methyl bromide.

(19) Preliminary experiments with other fumigants were carried out as well.
(20) Bacteria and virus used in the experiments, as well as air-borne organisms in the house, were perfectly inactivated by fumigation for 24 hours at the level of formalin mentioned above.
Stibine
Definition:
(n.) Antimony hydride, or hydrogen antimonide, a colorless gas produced by the action of nascent hydrogen on antimony. It has a characteristic odor and burns with a characteristic greenish flame. Formerly called also antimoniureted hydrogen.
Example Sentences:
(1) While the clinical picture suggested arsine or stibine poisoning, preliminary investigation of the plant revealed no obvious source of arsenic, antimony, or hydrogen gas.
(2) Therefore, similar work practices should be implemented to reduce the risk of worker exposure to stibine.
(3) A need for research to develop satisfactory solid sorbent sampling techniques for stibine and other volatile antimony compounds is evident.
(4) Stibine (SbH3), another toxic gas, if formed when antimony is exposed to nascent hydrogen.
