Dean & List, I had a conversation a while back with an individual from Eastern Canada who said that concentrations up to about 15 PPM were tested to have held their poennct for two years, but that higher concentrations 'deteriorated' faster... This should relate back to the fact that small charged particles are known to be the most biologicly active / toxic to micro-organisms; The 'clumping' issue may well be coming into play at higher concentrations.... I'll try t follow up on the statement that a couple dozen University studies of CS had been done in Canada; would dearly love to get coppies of that data!
