Fumigation can have environmental impacts, particularly if not managed properly. Some fumigants, like sulfuryl fluoride, are potent greenhouse gases with long atmospheric lifetimes, contributing to climate change. Additionally, improper use or accidental release of fumigants can harm non-target organisms and contaminate soil and water. To mitigate these risks, it is essential to use fumigation only when necessary, follow strict safety protocols, and explore alternative pest control methods when possible.
