Call it the bioassay method of measuring reaction effects. The unit of
exposure, the Papp. Lifetime exposure should be limited to a few
millipapps. They would use mice for monitoring, but the animal rights
people threatened to sue, so former Nature editors were retained.
After all, they had nothing to lose.

Isn't there a balloon attached to the end of the popper? (Which would
automatically function as a safety valve).
