Will buffer zones around schools in agricultural areas be adequate to protect children from the potential adverse effects of pesticide exposure? [PDF]
California has proposed limiting agricultural pesticide use within 0.4 km of schools and childcare facilities. However, the 0.4-km buffer may not be appropriate for all pesticides because of differing toxicities, fate, and application methods.

Does sorption of sulfuryl fluoride by wheat reduce its efficacy against adults and eggs of Rhyzopertha dominica? [PDF]
Despite its growing importance as a fumigant for grain, there is no information on the impact of sorption on the efficacy of sulfuryl fluoride (SF) against target insect pests. Eggs and adults of a major grain pest, Rhyzopertha dominica, living in wheat (

The Fumigation of Ships with Liston's Cyanide Fumigator [PDF]
(1) These experiments prove that the fumigator is safer to use than the dumping fixture, because high concentrations of the poison gas are avoided, so that dangerous pockets are not developed.(2) The poison gas is more evenly distributed over the different parts of the section of the ship under treatment.(3) High concentrations, however, can be ...

Low‐temperature carbonization and sulfur doping increase defect density and tailor surface area, enabling the formation of a thinner, more stable SEI, enhancing rate performance and the ICE. The S/C composite delivers an ICE of 83.1% and 480 mAh g−1 at 0.1 A g−1, retaining 232.6 mAh g−1 at 5 A g−1 for SIBs and achieves a considerable capacity of 439.2 ...
