Silicosis (previously miner's phthisis, grinder's asthma, potter's rot and other occupation-related names) is a form of occupational lung disease caused by inhalation of crystalline silica dust, and is marked by inflammation and scarring in the form of nodular lesions in the upper lobes of the lungs.ulmonary complications of silicosis also include Chronic Bronchitis and airflow limitation (indistinguishable from that caused by smoking), non-tuberculous Mycobacterium infection, fungal lung infection, compensatory emphysema, and pneumothorax.
Abstract. Urea Phosphite is a new composition of matter useful as a fertilizer and as a fungicide. It is made by reacting phosphorous acid with urea. Urea Phosphite is characterized by being a liquid produced in an unprocessed reaction, and by having phosphite as a phosphorus source and urea as a nitrogen source...his fertilizer and/or fungicide is characterized by being a liquid produced in an unprocessed reaction, and by having phosphite as a phosphorus source and urea as a nitrogen source. The present invention generally relates to a new composition of matter and to uses for that composition.
Potassium bicarbonate is a natural fungicide which is often used for organic gardening. Chemically, the compound is similar to common baking soda, (sodium bicarbonate), but the sodium is replaced with potassium, which is gentler on plants.Potassium bicarbonate can be purchased least expensively at garden and hardware stores, but is also available at pharmacies and wine-making supply shops.otassium bicarbonate is typically sold by the pound. There are 768 teaspoons in one pound, so one pound of potassium bicarbonate is enough to prepare 192 gallons of spray (768 divided by 4 teaspoons per gallon = 192 gallons.
