Abstract
Effectiveness of propylene glycol vapor decreased with increase in humidity. Dehumidification with CaCl2 gave lethal results comparable with those of glycol vapor, suggesting that the lethal effect produced by various fumi-gants is due less to their toxicity than to the desiccation they produce.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
