The toxicity of phenol to plants increases with increased concentration. Silica gel when placed in aqueous solutions of phenol lowers the degree of toxicity. When the concentration of phenol is increased the detoxifying effect is decreased. At a total concentration of 0.006 M mixtures of phenol and calcium nitrate exert a toxic effect greater than that of calcium nitrate used singly. When the molecular proportion of calcium nitrate exceeds that of phenol, the toxic effects are less than those of the corresponding single solutions of phenol. A portion of the phenol was adsorbed by the silica gel. 5 references, 1 figure, 1 table.
