In solution enough fluorine is liberated to produce toxic effects. Both aluminum sulphate and hydrated lime are capable of saving animals from a lethal dose of sodium fluoride when mixed with the latter. Boric acid also has some value as an antidote through the formation of a fluoborate. The aluminum sulphate forms cryolite which was found to be much less toxic. When aluminum sulphate is mixed with the sodium fluoride and used as a roach powder, a lower kill is obtained than with sodium fluoride alone.}, issn = {0022-3565}, URL = {https://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/74/2/235}, eprint = {https://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/74/2/235.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics} }
