 irritation associated with high concen- 

 trations of plankton and mass mortality 

 of nnarine organisnns. J. Mar. Res.

Shows that the red -tide water, when 

 sprayed into the nostrils or when 

 breathed as an aerosol, caused coughing 

 and a burning sensation in the nose aind 

 throat. Such aerosols are formed when 

 waves break on the beach. 



Breathing through a 2-cm. pad of 

 absorbent cotton prevented irritation. 



Unconcentrated "red water" contain- 

 ing 56 million G. breve per liter re- 

 tained its irritating qualities unim- 

 paired sifter storage for several weeks. 



The irritant passed through a fine 

 bacteria filter (openings, 1 to 1.5 

 microns).

"At relative humidities commonly 

 found over the sea, droplets of sea 

 water of this size [2-200 fi.] will evap- 

 orate quickly to form nuclei of about 

 1 to 45 fx in diameter. Such nuclei fall 

 slowly (0.01 to 13 cm. per sec.), aind 

 atmospheric turbulence sind winds cause 

 them to be carried mciny miles and 

 hundreds of feet into the air .... 

 [p. 1189.] 



"Microscopic examination of the aero- 

 sols from 'red water' revealed that 

 their surface tension was much re- 

 duced, compared to the surface tension 

 of droplets of relatively clear sea 

 water, and that some of the droplets 

 contained parts of plankton orga- 

 nisms. . . ." [p. 1191.]
