Laboratory and field tests demonstrated that 2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide was an effective slimicide for use in papermaking systems and cooling towers. It was also effective as a bactericide for soluble oil emulsions. Acute toxicity tests showed that its hydrolysis at pH 9 and 23 C yielded products that were relatively nonhazardous to fathead minnows.
