Hawaii: Incrustations and fumarolic condensates at Kilauea volcano, Hawaii: field, drill-hole and laboratory observations
Abstract: Hawaiian volcanoes characteristically have but few of the many types of minerals found in incrustations of other volcanic areas. In Hawaii sulfates resulting from air oxidation of volatiles predominate, and fluorides produced during rock alteration by fumarolic gases are prominent. Halides are generally found where reducing conditions exist in fumaroles and lava lake drill […]

Contamination of forest ecosystems by sodium fluoroacetate (Compound 1080)

As a pesticide, the toxin appears to be neither mobile nor persistent. Exceedingly slender opportunities exist therefore for significant contamination of […]
