Analysis of a ‘yellow rain’ sample by selected ion monitoring revealed the presence of three trichothecenes: T‐2 toxin, diacetoxyscirpenol and 4‐deoxynivalenol in concentrations of at least 48,42 and 58 ppm, respectively. The concentration of zearalenone, another Fusarium mycotoxin, was estimated to be at least 265 ppm. Evidence for a formulation which contained polyethylene glycol was also obtained.
