Removal from or/and inhibition of development of bad odor in, organic thiophosphate products, such as O,O-dimethyl-S-(1,2carbethoxy ethyl)-dithiophosphate products. The desired result is obtained by treating the thiophosphate product with a small amount of a nitrogen oxide, preferably dinitrogen tetraoxide (nitrogen dioxide) or dinitrogen trioxide, or an inorganic or organic nitrite, such as ethyl nitrite or isoamyl nitrite. |
