Chemwatch: 13568 Page 3 of 10 Issue Date: 05/03/2018 Version No: 4.1.1.1 COPPER ACETATE Print Date: 05/06/2019 IF SWALLOWED, REFER FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION, WHERE POSSIBLE, WITHOUT DELAY. For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor. Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be needed. In the mean time, qualified first-aid personnel should treat the patient following observation and employing supportive measures as indicated by the patient's condition. If the services of a medical officer or medical doctor are readily available, the patient should be placed in his/her care and a copy of the SDS should be provided. Further action will be the responsibility of the medical specialist. If medical attention is not available on the worksite or surroundings send the patient to a hospital together with a copy of the SDS. Ingestion Where medical attention is not immediately available or where the patient is more than 15 minutes from a hospital or unless instructed otherwise: INDUCE vomiting with fingers down the back of the throat, ONLY IF CONSCIOUS. Lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration. NOTE: Wear a protective glove when inducing vomiting by mechanical means. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed for copper intoxication: Unless extensive vomiting has occurred empty the stomach by lavage with water, milk, sodium bicarbonate solution or a 0.1% solution of potassium ferrocyanide (the resulting copper ferrocyanide is insoluble). Administer egg white and other demulcents. Maintain electrolyte and fluid balances. Morphine or meperidine (Demerol) may be necessary for control of pain. If symptoms persist or intensify (especially circulatory collapse or cerebral disturbances, try BAL intramuscularly or penicillamine in accordance with the supplier's recommendations. Treat shock vigorously with blood transfusions and perhaps vasopressor amines. If intravascular haemolysis becomes evident protect the kidneys by maintaining a diuresis with mannitol and perhaps by alkalinising the urine with sodium bicarbonate. It is unlikely that methylene blue would be effective against the occassional methaemoglobinemia and it might exacerbate the subsequent haemolytic episode. Institute measures for impending renal and hepatic failure. [GOSSELIN, SMITH & HODGE: Commercial Toxicology of Commercial Products] A role for activated for charcoals or emesis is, as yet, unproven.

BCF (where regulations permit). Carbon dioxide. Special hazards arising from the substrate or mixture Fire Incompatibility Avoid contamination with oxidising agents i.e. nitrates, oxidising acids, chlorine bleaches, pool chlorine etc. as ignition may result Advice for firefighters Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves. Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water courses. Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area. Fire Fighting DO NOT approach containers suspected to be hot. Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire. Equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use. Combustible solid which burns but propagates flame with difficulty; it is estimated that most organic dusts are combustible (circa 70%) - according to the circumstances under which the combustion process occurs, such materials may cause fires and / or dust explosions. Organic powders when finely divided over a range of concentrations regardless of particulate size or shape and suspended in air or some other oxidizing medium may form explosive dust-air mixtures and result in a fire or dust explosion (including secondary explosions). Avoid generating dust, particularly clouds of dust in a confined or unventilated space as dusts may form an explosive mixture with air, and any source of ignition, i.e. flame or spark, will cause fire or explosion.

I also.wish to thank the Department of Chemistry of the University of Alabama for making the research possible. Marion Vaun Adams University, Ala. May 1, 1924. THE ELECTROLYTIC OXIDATION OF POTASSIUM ARSElHTE. Potassium arsenate is a comparatively unknown compound, that is, very little experimental work has been done with it, and since no important use has been found for it no attempt has been made to produce it in large quantities. Several arsenic compounds are very useful in destroying insects whic~ have prov,en themselves enemies to the life of eco­ nomi~ plants. Probably the first of these was the well-known Paris Green which contains copper and acetic acid as well as ar­ senic. As copper was a fairly expensive metal, and since the acet­ ic acid served no useful purpose, this was followed and to acer­ tain extent replaced by lead arsenate, which does the same work at a considerably less coat. The users of Paris Green usually ass­ ociated the green color, due to copper, with its effectiveness, so that arsenate of lead, which is white, had a strong prejudice to overcome at first. Another member of the arsenic family to come into prominence is calcium arsenate.

    STUDIES OF DERRIS, NICOTINE, PARIS GREEN, AND OTHER POISONS IN COMBINATION WITH MOLASSES IN THE CONTROL OF THE GLADIOLUS THRIPS ' By HENRY H. RICHARDSON 2 Assistant entomologist, Division of Truck Crop and Garden Insects, Bureau of Entomology, United States Department of Agriculture INTRODUCTION A spray containing paris green and brown sugar was the most effective of 14 insecticidal mixtures tested in the field against the gladiolus thrips (Taeniothrips gladioli M. and S.) in 1932 (10\^ owing, apparently, to the persistence of a toxic jresidue on the foliage. In order to study more closely the action of this and other spray residues on various thrips, the investigations reported in this paper were started, and were carried out under laboratory and greenhouse con- ditions in 1932-33. Unless otherwise stated, the experiments were made on the gladiolus thrips. METHODS Three kinds of tests were made to estimate the effectiveness of various spray residues. (1) Laboratory tests against young larvae hatching from sprayed foKage over a period of 6 to 8 days after the application: Potted gladiolus plants from 10 to 14 inches high were infested with from 10 to 15 adult female thrips 8 to 10 days before the application of the spray, in order to have many eggs in the foliage at the time of treat- ment. All thrips were removed from the plants before the spray was applied. After the spray deposit had dried, a band of sticky material was placed just above the leaf sheaths to prevent migration of the young larvae that had hatched from sprayed foliage.

  • Philip Ball the Invention of Colour
    Philip Ball: The Invention of Colour 1 Philip Ball The Invention of Colour The 2011 Van Gogh exhibition at the Royal Academy in London was widely praised for revising our view of the Dutch artist. Its central focus was a selection of Van Gogh’s correspondence with his brother Theo, and these letters show that he did not work in a crazed frenzy, as the romantic legend might have us believe, but was methodical and thoughtful about his technique. The letters, which are of course long familiar to art historians, reveal a man passionate not so much about love and death as about art, and in particular about its techniques and materials. One great source of inspiration for Van Gogh was colours, especially the new colours that during his lifetime had only recently become available to artists. He wrote to Theo that: I have got new ideas and I have new means of expressing what I want, because better brushes will help me, and I am crazy about those two colours, carmine and cobalt. Cobalt is a divine colour, and there is nothing so beautiful for putting atmosphere around things. Carmine is the red of wine, and it is warm and lively like wine. The same with emerald-green. It is bad economy not to use these colours, the same with cadmium.1 This focus on materials is not unusual among artists. Van Gogh’s friend Paul Gauguin was preoccupied on Tahiti not with metaphysical questions – where we are from, where we are going – nor about his sexual relations with the local women, as again legend might encourage us to believe, but about the very prosaic difficulty of getting the pigments he needed.
