release number twenty-four on fish recordings is here:melamine is an organic base and a trimer of cyanamide. like cyanamide,it contains 66% nitrogen by mass and, if mixed with resins, has fireretardant properties due to its release of nitrogen gas when burned orcharred. due to this fact it has several industrial uses.melamine is also a metabolite of cyromazine, a pesticide. it is formedin the body of mammals who have ingested cyromazine. melamine combineswith cyanuric acid to form melamine cyanurate which has been implicatedas a contaminant in chinese exported proteins. melamine is described asbeing "harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin.chronic exposure may cause cancer or reproductive damage." however, theshort-term lethal dose is on a par with common table salt with an ld50of more than 3 grams per kilogram of bodyweight. u.s. food and drugadministration (fda) scientists explained that when melamine andcyanuric acid are absorbed into the bloodstream, they concentrate andinteract in the urine-filled renal microtubules, then crystallize andform large numbers of round, yellow crystals, which in turn block anddamage the renal cells that line the tubes, causing the kidneys tomalfunction.
