[edit] Page move
I think this page should be moved to the more accurate Sodium fluoroacetate and 1080 (poison) should be a redirect to it. 129.241.11.201 12:54, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
- That sounds like a good idea. raptor 09:17, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Passive voice
In the body the fluoroacetate is converted to fluorocitrate...
This statement is very vague, due to passive voice. How is it converted? Is there some metabolic process that is responsible, or does it just simply breakdown into fluorocitrate? --Beefyt 15:48, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Assessment
Not a bad length, but still needs some more work, as well as filling in the infobox, hence start class. The mechanism is particularly unclear. I imagine it works by competitive inhibition of aconitase preventing the formation of isocitrate. Richard001 01:30, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] LD50 value
Since this is an article about a poison, it should have LD50 information, but I couldn't find this information. --Ozhiker 11:20, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Is documentary on YouTube reliable enough?
A group of anti-1080 New Zealanders made a documentary about an aerial 1080 operation and it's consequences on target and non-target species. The documentary was aired on one of national TV channels (Maori TV, Saturday Feature slot on Saturday July 14 at 9.30 PM.) See [1]. Parts of the documentary are on YouTube [2].
Does anyone object this first hand account recorded on video is reliable enough? Envirozed (talk) 23:14, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
