White phosphorus– or P4- the highly toxic solid responsible for poisoning dozens of birds at Rattlechain lagoon. A banned rat poison and military weapon. The picture above shows a lethal adult human dose of the equivalent amount of sugar granules which would fit on the end of the Queens nose on a one pence piece- (around 50mg). For wildfowl ingesting it in the shallow sediments at the lagoon, this would be far less. Tens of tonnes of the chemical are present in the waste deposited there for over 60 years.
