wikipedia is NOT a scientific reference
|
I'm adjusting the level of discussion to the needs of forum users. We often use wikipedia as easy-accessible source of knowledge just to provide some background information on the subject.

Please...
Did you go through the reference I cited here ?! Please just look in the abstract (short description of the project) section of the reference. I hope You are not one of these people that JUST KNOW BETTER
and neglect everything without further reading and spending some time on thinking about the problem.
I'm sorry but your argument sounds as convincing as: salt (potassium chloride) is used to prepare lethal injection, and we use it to prepare marine water ! or strontium/barium salts are neurotoxic + cause permanent damage of kindeys, and we use them as trace elements...
Dear Friend: chemical compound + dosage = application. Have You ever heard about
LD50!
Please do the math with me:
10ml per 26.5gal so: 0.37 ml/gal of marine water. 0.37ml containes: 1.5 mg of glicol -> 1.5ppm (in marine ecologist jargon). What is the amount used in plastification process ?!
Cheers! BTW Enjoy the beauty of science!
P.S.
Just one more thing: this recipe didn't pop out my head just like that. It's a one of the
laboratory protocols used in marine ecology labs. I fully respect your opposition and feel happy that we can discuss possible issues, but only when you formulate your problem in a more/or less logical way!
