Bench scale activated sludge assay. Fill and draw operation after 6 hrs 1.3% of theoretical oxygen demand; at 12 hrs 3.8% of theoretical oxygen demand; at 24 hr 6.4% of theoretical oxygen demand.

Reverse osmosis yielded 40.5% rejection from 0.01 M soln.

Treatment of Pleurodeles waltlii or Triturus helveticus cleaving eggs with 1M formamide resulted in complete destruction of mitotic spindles; centrospheres were blocked; mitotic pyknosis with disappearance of nuclei was observed. Pluripolar mitoses in which asters were separated from spindles occurred in Pleurodeles eggs treated with 0.5M formamide. In a comparative study with acetamide, propionamide, & butyramide, the effect on T. helveticus eggs was observed at smaller concn with increasing number of C atoms in the mol.

Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway. Suction if necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist respirations if necessary. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat if necessary ... . Monitor for shock and treat if necessary ... . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with normal saline during transport ... . Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 ml/kg up to 200 ml of water for dilution if the patient can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool. Activated charcoal is not effective ... . Do not attempt to neutralize because of exothermic reaction. Cover skin burns with dry, sterile dressings after decontamination ... . /Organic acids and related compounds/

Advanced treatment: Consider orotracheal or nasotracheal intubation for airway control in the patient who is unconscious, has severe pulmonary edema, or is in respiratory arrest. Early intubation, at the first sign of upper airway obstruction, may be necessary. Positive pressure ventilation techniques with a bag valve mask device may be beneficial. Monitor cardiac rhythm and treat arrhythmias as necessary ... . Start an IV with D5W /SRP: "To keep open", minimal flow rate/. Use lactated Ringer's if signs of hypovolemia are present. Watch for signs of fluid overload. Consider drug therapy for pulmonary edema ... . For hypotension with signs of hypovolemia, administer fluid cautiously. Consider vasopressors if patient is hypotensive with a normal fluid volume. Watch for signs of fluid overload ... . Use proparacaine hydrochloride to assist eye irrigation ... . /Organic acids and related compounds/
