Several compounds—arachic acid, hexaethylbenzene, hexamethylbenzene, 1-octadecanol, palmitic acid, and stearamide— were individually compressed as pellets and tested, by im plantation into the mouse bladder, as possible vehicles for carcinogenicity experiments. All of these compounds were found to b3 associated with a 3-17% incidence of bladder carcinomas. Pellets of 23-methylcholanthrene (...

Experiments were conducted in tightly sealed pilot scale warehouses to assess the efficacy of common aerosolized insecticides on all life stages of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) when exposed in dishes containing 0 to 2 g of wheat flour either under pallets or out in the open. Petri dishes containing 0, 0.1, 1, or 2 g of flour were prepared with 25 eggs, 3rd instars, p...
