Episode 44 - Paper Crossbow Original Air Date: January 11, 2006 Paper Crossbow This Myth was the first entry among those listed as one of the twelve myths that will not be tested in MythBusters: Explosive Truth for 30 of the most perplexing urban legends of all time. In an interview with Skeptic magazine, the myth appeared to be considered too controversial by Discovery Channel, which believed that testing the myth could provoke prisoners to try such things. Myth Statement Status Notes Prison Inmate Can Kill Another Inmate From Around the Hall Using a Newspaper for a Paper Crossbow. Believable Jamie and Adam built separate crossbows for the myth and fired several shots each. Testing has proven that it is possible to kill someone with a paper crossbow, but this will require an accurate shot at a vital place (such as a jugular vein or eye), which is difficult with a homemade weapon such as a paper crossbow. Adam's crossbow reached a top arrow speed of 91 ft/s (28 m/s), a maximum arrow energy of 7.45 feet⋅lbf (10.10 J), and pierced the dummy's throat one inch (25 mm) deep from a distance of 15 feet (4.6 m) on the first shot. The crossbows each gradually became useless after a few shots, showing that the shooter would have a few shots to get into a vital place. Also, the obvious problem there is to get out one shot or more without being caught caught Act. A visit to the local prison revealed that inmates had in the past improvised much more effective weapons, including a handgun with a suppressor flash, firing bullets smuggled into the prison. Vodka Myths II Kari, Tori, and Grant test to see if vodka ... Myth Statement Status Notes ... Can remove the smell of cigarette smoke from the clothing plausible difference was noticeable between the control jacket and one sprayed with vodka before washing. Grant described the control jacket as an oaky smell to it, while on a vodka jacket he could not detect such a smell.

  • Guidelines for Drinking-Water Quality, Fourth Edition

    Guidelines for Drinking-Water Quality, Fourth Edition

    12. CHEMICAL FACT SHEETS Assessment date 1993 Principal reference WHO (2003) Chlorine in drinking-water In humans and experimental animals exposed to chlorine in drinking-water, no specific adverse treatment-related effects have been observed. IARC has classified h ypochlorite in Group 3 (not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans). Chlorite and chlorate Chlorite and chlorate are disinfection by-products resulting from the use of chlorine dioxide as a disinfectant and for odour and taste control in water. Chlorine dioxide is also used as a bleaching agent for cellulose, paper pulp, flour and oils. Sodium chlorite and sodium chlorate are both used in the production of chlorine dioxide as well as for other commercial purposes. Chlorine dioxide rapidly decomposes into chlorite, chlorate and chloride ions in treated water, chlorite being the predominant species; this reaction is favoured by alkaline conditions. The major route of environmental ex- posure to chlorine dioxide, sodium chlorite and sodium chlorate is through drinking- water. Chlorate is also formed in sodium hypochlorite solution that is stored for long periods, particularly at high ambient temperatures. Provisional guideline values Chlorite: 0.7 mg/l (700 µg/l) Chlorate: 0.7 mg/l (700 µg/l) The guideline values for chlorite and chlorate are designated as provisional because use of chlorine dioxide as a disinfectant may result in the chlorite and chlorate guideline values being exceeded, and difficulties in meeting the guideline value must never be a reason for compromising adequate disinfection. Occurrence Levels of chlorite in water reported in one study ranged from 3.2 to 7.0 mg/l; however, the combined levels will not exceed the dose of chlorine dioxide applied.

  • Toxic Action of Aqueous Sodium Chlorate on Nitella1

    Toxic Action of Aqueous Sodium Chlorate on Nitella1

    TOXIC ACTION OF AQUEOUS SODIUM CHLORATE ON NITELLA1 By H. R. OFFORD, Agent, and R. P. D'URBAL, Assistant Chemist, Division of Blister Rust Control, Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture INTRODUCTION The experiments herein reported on the toxic action of aqueous sodium chlorate on Nitella were conducted as part of an investigative program ^ to devise economic methods for the chemical suppression of wild currant and gooseberry plants. These plants, members of the family Grossulariaceae and commonly referred to as Ribes, are the alternate hosts of the blister-rust disease of white pines, which is caused by the fungus Cronartium ribicola Fisch. Blister rust may be effectively controlled by hand eradication of currants and goose- berries within 900 feet of the white-pine stand delimited for protection, though in the case of certain highly susceptible species of Ribes this distance necessarily must be increased. Hand pulling is an effective eradication practice, but a cheaper method, such as chemical treat- ment, is needed where the plants occur in great profusion. High toxicity, low cost, and adaptability to field use are important requi- sites of a chemical for general use in plant-eradication work. In field experiments more than a hundred chemicals were tested as plant poisons during the summers of 1925, 1926, and 1927 (P).^ The results of these experiments showed that sodium chlorate is by far the best killing agent and in addition lends itself suitably to general field application. Sodium chlorate, fully effective on Ribes petiolare Dougk, is but moderately successful on other Ribes. Field experiments performed during three successive years established this difference in susceptibility very definitely and suggested that, in the mechanism of killing, specific reactions between the chlorate and the several Ribes species are involved.
  • Dangers of Unspent Aircraft Oxygen Generators

    Dangers of Unspent Aircraft Oxygen Generators

    Safety Advisory Dangers of Unspent Aircraft Oxygen Generators U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board No. 2007-I-NC-01-SA | June 2007 Key Message This Safety Advisory is issued to alert aircraft maintenance and hazardous waste facility personnel to the hazards associated with the transportation and storage of expired, unspent aircraft chemical oxygen generators. Aircraft oxygen generators are dangerous devices that, if mishandled, can cause fires, property damage, and personal injury. Aircraft oxygen generators that have exceeded their service life should be expended before shipping by any transport mode. Introduction On October 5, 2006, at about 10 pm, a fire occurred at the EQ Industrial Services (EQ) hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility in Apex, North Carolina. The fire resulted in the evacuation of thousands of Apex residents and the complete destruction of the hazardous waste building at EQ’s Apex facility. The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) investigation concluded that aircraft oxygen generators most likely contributed to the rapid spread of the fire to other areas in the EQ facility. The CSB issues this Safety Advisory to focus attention on the need for aircraft maintenance facilities to expend chemical oxygen generators that have exceeded their service life, and for hazardous waste facility operators and shippers to exercise due care when handling unspent chemical oxygen generators. Incident Description At about 10 pm on October 5, 2006, a citizen driving past the EQ facility in Apex, North Carolina, called 911 when he saw a plume of smoke and smelled a strong chlorine odor coming from the facility.
  • Experiments with Sodium Chlorate and Other Chemicals As Herbicides for Field Bindweed»

    Experiments with Sodium Chlorate and Other Chemicals As Herbicides for Field Bindweed»

    EXPERIMENTS WITH SODIUM CHLORATE AND OTHER CHEMICALS AS HERBICIDES FOR FIELD BINDWEED» By W. L. LATSHAW, Associate Professor of Chemistry^ and J. W. ZAHNLEY, Associate Professor of Farm Crops, Kansas State Agricultural College ^ INTRODUCTION Field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis) is regarded as the most noxious weed in several of the Western States and is widely distrib- uted in Kansas. In some cases infested farms are reduced in value more than one-half and loan companies often refuse to accept them as security. Considering the seriousness of the situation and the fact that methods now in use (5)^ in Kansas are not wholly satisfactory, further experimental work seemed desirable. The use of chemicals as herbicidal agents is not new, but so far as is known to the authors sodium chlorate had not been tried in any experiments with bind- weed previous to those herein reported. REVIEW OF LITERATURE A considerable amount of work has been done by various investi- gators relating to the eradication of bindweed. Intensive cultivation has proved effective in several States as shown by the following workers: Call and Getty (5) in Kansas; Barnum (3) and Bioletti (4) in California; Cox (6) of the United States Department of Agricul- ture; Stewart and Pittman (13) in Utah; and in Idaho (10), as reported by the direptor of the Idaho Experiment Station. Chemicals have been used more or less generally. Krauss (12) and Wilcox (15) found sodium arsenite effective. Gray (7) also found it effective within the fog belt of California, but not nearly so successful (8) in the less humid section of the State.

  • Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda)

    Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda)

    SODIUM HYDROXIDE odium hydroxide (caustic soda) is a co-product from the manufacture of chlorine using a Ssolution of the readily available raw material, rock salt (sodium chloride). These factors contribute to it being the cheapest and most widely used strong alkali. Uses 48 The biggest single use for sodium hydroxide in making organic chemicals is in the manufacture of epoxypropane, used in turn to make polyurethanes (Unit 67). Figure Sodium hydroxide is used in the purification of the ore, bauxite, prior to it being used to make aluminium (Unit 69). This picture shows stockpiling of recently mined bauxite ore at the Gove refinery in the Northern Territory, Australia. Figure 2 Purified bauxite being unloaded from a ship in Iceland, on its way to an aluminium extraction plant. Much sodium hydroxide is used to scrub gases to remove acids. One example is in the purification of flue gases in the manufacture of sulfuric acid, where the alkali removes sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide from gases that are being emitted into the atmosphere (Unit 50). Similarly it is used to treat the effluent in the manufacture of titanium dioxide (Unit 51). Another major use of sodium hydroxide is in the manufacture of paper from wood. In the most used process, the Kraft process, wood is treated with a Figure 3 Uses of sodium hydroxide. solution containing a mixture of sodium sulfide and SODIUM HYDROXIDE sodium hydroxide. Most of the unwanted material in the caustic soda produced from each of the processes wood, such as the lignins, dissolve in the liquor, leaving varies: relatively pure cellulose which is filtered off.

  • Sodium Chlorate Crops

    Sodium Chlorate Crops

    Sodium Chlorate Crops Identification Chemical Name(s): CAS Number: Sodium chlorate 7775-09-9 Other Names: Other Codes: soda chlorate; chlorate of soda; chloric acid, sodium salt; DOT number: UN 1495/ UN 2428 sodium chlorate, aqueous solution NAERG Code: 140 PC Code: 073301 Trade names: Chlorax; De-Fol-Ate, Drop-Leaf; Fall; Harvest-Aid; Tumbleaf Summary Recommendation Synthetic / Allowed or Suggested Non-Synthetic: Prohibited: Annotation: Synthetic Prohibit Characterization Composition: NaClO3. O Na– O--Cl O Sodium chlorate belongs to the class of inorganic herbicides (containing no carbon), and was developed before the modern era of organic herbicides such as 2-4-D, which began in the mid 1940s. Others in this category include aresenicals, borates, cyannates, and ammoniuim sulfamate and are still in use today (Klingman, Meister). Properties: Sodium chlorate is a white, odorless, crystalline solid that looks like common table salt (sodium chloride) and is water soluble. It is a strong oxidant, not combustible but reacts violently with combustible and reducing materials. There is a risk of fire and explosion in dry mixtures with other substances, especially organic materials, i.e., other herbicides, sulphur, peat, powdered metals, strong acids, etc. How Made: Sodium chlorate is rapidly produced in solution form by the electrolysis of sodium chloride brine in a diaphragm-less chlor-alkali cell (Kent, Kirk-Othmer). The overall reaction is : NaCl + 3 H2O + 6F (faradays) NaClO3 + 3H2 This process is currently efficient at the rate of over 90% and involves power consumption of 4500- 5800 kWh /metic ton of sodium chlorate produced. In 1990, total North American sodium chlorate capacity was 1.1 million tons/year, with most production in Canada because of lower energy costs.
