✦ Synopsis

Mortars were prepared with an industrial incinerator waste material similar to silica fume as an additive to or a partial replacement for cement to investigate whether the copper and zinc contents present in the waste material had an adverse effect on the compressive strength. When used as a cement replacement, high copper contents (0.69, 0.96, 1.38% by weight of pozzolanic material ) were detrimental to the early strength development. Lower copper contents (0.24 and 0.48% by weight of pozzolanic material) did not affect the strength development. When used as an additive to cement in mortar, the copper content of the material did not affect the strength development. Higher compressive slrength compared to a control resulted when the material was used as a 10, 15, or 20% additive to cement (based on the percent weight of cement). Conclusions regarding the effect of the zinc content could not be drawn due to the significant copper concentration relative to the concentration of zinc in the waste material.

Acute and Chronic Toxicity of Veratrum Viride††The Veratrum viride studied was the whole-powdered drug marketed by Irwin, Neisler & Co. under the name, Vertavis. The work reported herein was supported by a grant from this firm. The batch of powder used in these experiments was stated by the manufacturer to have been assayed biologically by the Craw method on Daphnia magna. One Craw unit of the material studied was stated to be 15.6mg. With regard to this assay, Mr. R. O. Craw has been so kind as to allow us to publish a brief explanation: A reference lot of Yerolrum oirid; powder was set-aside as a standard and a 10% w/v aqueous extract was made of this powder. The average median length of life in 50 assays of 1000 daphnia on immersion in the solution was determined to be 2.22 hours. The daphnia were considered dead when the heart was found to be in systolic standstill on microscopic examination. Succeeding lots of powder were assayed and their potency determined by relating the median length of life of daphnia to 2.22 hours, which is one unit. Twenty assays of 10 animals each were used on each lot of powder.‑‑The authors wish to thank Dr. J. F. A.,McManus of the Department of Pathology for a pathologic report on the tissues, and Mr. James Thomas and Mrs. Bobby E. Teague for technical assistance.
