A Practical Note on the Cyanide Fumigation of Ships

In view of the fact that fumigation of ships, etc., with hydrocyanic gas has not, so far as I am aware, been introduced into India up to the present, this note has been compiled in the hope that it may be of some practical service to those interested in such matters. Through the kindness of Col. P. G. Stock, c.b., c.b.e., and Dr. M. T. Morgan of the Ministry of Health, in arranging an introduct...

Metabolic inhibition with cyanide induces calcium release in pulmonary artery myocytes and Xenopus oocytes.

We examined the effects of metabolic inhibition on intracellular Ca(2+) release in single pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). Severe metabolic inhibition with cyanide (CN, 10 mM) increased intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and activated Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) currents [I(Cl(Ca))] in PASMCs, responses that were greatly inhibited by BAPTA-AM or caffeine. Mild metaboli...

Recent Advances in Fumigation

Controlled formaldehyde fumigation system.

A comparative study of formaldehyde (HCHO) fumigation was carried out by controlled vaporization, using an electric vapor generator, and by the Formalin-permanganate method. Determination of vapor levels as well as bactericidal action showed the generator to be more effective. Maximum achievable fumigant levels were temperature dependent and related to the equilibrium vapor concentration of HC...
