Chemistry: The products are noncombustible but exposure to Moist air releases toxic phosphine gas which may be flammable, It also quickly gives off ammonia (NH₃), a pungent smelling warning gas and carbon dioxide.
Reaction equation ALP + 3H₂O ==> PH₃+ AL(OH)₃ NH₂COONH₄ ==> 2NH₃ + CO₂

Tablets: 3.0 gram per tablet which releases 1.0 gram phosphine gas.
Pellets: 0.6 gram per pellet which releases 0.2 gram phosphine gas.
