Comment on " An update on toxicology of aluminum phosphide "
Journal Title: DARU Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 20, Issue 0
Abstract
I read with interest the recent published article by Dr Moghadamnia titled "An update on toxicology of aluminum phosphide". Since aluminum phosphide (AlP) poisoning is an important medical concern in Iran, I have had the opportunities to work and publish many papers in this regard. I would like to comment on that paper.
