General description
Ammonium thiosulfate is a non-toxic inorganic compound that is majorly used as a fertilizer and can be used as an alternative to cyanide based leaching. It has a hygroscopic nature and is soluble in water. It can be produced by the reaction of ammonia, water, and sulfur dioxide. It can be used as a photographic fixing salt.
Application
Ammonium thiosulfide can be used as a source of sulfur for the formation of cadmium sulfide thin films for electronic applications. It can also be used in the treatment of copper-gold ores for the recovery of gold.

Low permeability tarps can effectively minimize fumigant emissions while improving fumigation efficacy by retaining fumigants under the tarp. However, when planting holes are cut through the tarps, high-concentration fumigants may be released and result in environmental and worker safety hazards.
