In Egypt, aluminum phosphide (ALP) is one of the most serious health problems that threaten the health system, with a very high mortality rate that ranges from 30%-100% of cases, according to medical facilities. ALP records suicidal deaths related to the toxin ingestion in Egypt, which accounts for...
