Some Biological Effects of the Residue of an Incendiary Composition.

Abstract

In examining the response of soil microorganisms when exposed to the residue left from burned incendiary materials (a modified thermate), it was learned that progressively increased concentrations of the residue caused a corresponding increase in the microorganism population. Bioassays using a fish (Lagodon rhomboides L.) indicated the lethal concentration of incendiary residue in water was approximately 0.5 gram per liter. (Author)
