generally more susceptible than men. Very
small amounts of prussic acid do not harm
the human body, even if breathed
continuously. Birds and fishes are
particularly susceptible to prussic acid.
3)
Toxic effects on insects: The effects
of prussic acid on insects do not depend on
the temperature to the same extent as that
of other gases, that is, it is effective in low
temperatures
(even
at
5
degrees
Centigrade) The eggs of many insects,
particularly of bugs and lice, are more
susceptible than the full-grown insects.
4)
Toxic effects on plants: The degree
of toxicity depends on the type of vegetation
on the plants. Plants with thick leaves are
less susceptible than those with thin ones.
Mildew and dry-rot are not killed by prussic
acid. Prussic acid does not destroy bacteria.
