Re: BRYONET: Hoyer's Solution & chloral hydrate

BRYONET

Thanks Alan.
Good one! I never believed it, but was asked this question from two
students, so I was wondering where this academe-legend came from. It is
still there, unfortunately. Good to know and thanks for the Word Doc.

BRYONET: Chloral Hydrate and cancer

BRYONET

Chloral hydrate, used as a hypnosedative in adults and children, has
been shown to be genotoxic and carcinogenic in animal studies. We
investigated the potential causal association between chloral hydrate
exposure and cancer risk in humans.....

BRYONET: lost email

BRYONET

Dear bryonetter

A few weeks ago I received an e-Mail asking me
whether I would welcome a South American
bryologist for a stay with the Swiss bryological
working group about bryophyte monitoring and
conservation. Unfortunately the e-mail got lost
and I don't remember the name of the sender. So,
I ask the person concerned this way to send the
message again.

Apologies and thanks,
Edi Urmi

BRYONET: Archive for Bryology 55

BRYONET

After having published the moss flora of the Seychelles (AfB 38) and
Mauritius (AfB 51), an evaluation of the moss floras of the Mascarenes
(the latter plus Reunion) has been made, which show striking
differences. The article can, as ever, be downloaded for free from
www.archive-for-bryology.com. Everybody interested can also get the
spreadsheet with the actual lists of species upon request.

BRYONET

I have collated the recently posted comments about Hoyer's Solution and
alternative mounting media into a single word file. If anyone would
like a copy, I am happy to send it to them.

RE: BRYONET: Hoyer's Solution & chloral hydrate

BRYONET

Dear Terry: I was also told as a student that Hoyers (chloral hydrate)
was carcinogenic. Under the "toxicology" for chloral hydrate the MSDS
states "Harmful if swallowed. Skin, eye, and respiratory irritant."
There is no mention of carcinogenicity.

That's all I know, but I am reasonably sure that's all that I need to know.

I think that some of those pearls of wisdom that we remember from our
student days are not unlike those we learned on our grandmother's knee.
Some of them you never forget and you always intuitively believe them,
whether or not they are supported by empirical evidence. And most of
them don't do us any harm.

Cheers, Allan (Fife)
