Enhancement of toxicity to roof rats (Rattus rattus) by in vitro conversion of magnesium ammonium arsenate to arsenite salts.
The rodenticidal efficacies of ammonium or sodium arsenite and arsenious oxide have been studied by in vitro chemical reduction of magnesium ammonium arsenate (MAA), a by-product of fertilizer industry. It was observed that the reduced products obtained by sulphur dioxide and sodium sulphite methods...
