Re: A few gum things
What they reported is probably true for the specific test conditions they were concerned, but I argue that their condition does not apply to what we are discussing here. Do you plan to spray a 0.2% glut solution or a 1.2% formaldehyde solution to your nostril for 5 days in a row just to detect something, and then spray 23 more days to analyze the differences in the damage caused by them in the molecular level? I wouldn't spray 0.01% solution directly into my nostril, even once. Perhaps more useful to note here is that, they used 6x stronger (by weight per volume) formaldehyde test solution to equalize the degree of apparent cellular (but not molecular) damages but in reality glut is used in 1/10 the weight and much of it is permanently bound to gelatin (thus leaving much less than 1/10 the amount of unreacted residue). Note: formaldehyde HCHO = 30, glut = pentane dial = 100. My conclusion doesn't change: glut is easier to limit the potential damage due to accidental exposure, when correctly used, compared to formaldehyde. -- Ryuji Suzuki "People seldom do what they believe in.
