Aluminium phosphide (AlP) is a highly toxic pesticide and rodenticide which is commonly used in India esp. in North India for food grain preservation. Aluminium phosphide is very effective and thus its use is increasing as pesticide and rodenticide in the rural as well as sub urban regions for storage purposes of grains. In this study we have recorded multiple variables and observed that cardiac rhythm changes like arrhythmias, ST wave changes, circulatory changes like low Blood Pressure, low pH, Low bicarbonate levels and high CPK level at the time of admission are important mortality indictors and increasing efforts should be made to keep these parameters within normal range to reduce the mortality which is 50.72% as per current study.
