What is the vapor pressure of Calcium phosphate? -- (Comment from 132.239.189.126)
That would be a fiendishly difficult thing to measure. I don't know whether anyone has done it. Usually salts like Calcium Phosphate have practically no vapor pressure. --Slashme16:40, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not merge this page with Tricalcium phosphate. Calcium phosphate is the commonly used term for the family of compounds and does not automatically refer to tricalcium orthophosphate. This is the nomenclature used in the literature that actually deals with these compounds and, as such, I belive that this is in line with Wikipedia's "generally known as" policy. Nick
I'd like to propose that we Wikify back to calcium monohydrogen phosphate and that tricalcium phosphate becomes calcium orthophosphate (tribasic). I believe this would be closer to the IUPAC system. Does anyone have an argument for why the current system is better? Nick 20:11, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Do NOT remove facts while claiming them to be "unsubstantiated" when those facts have been widely reported for years across all manner of science journals, legal court cases, admissions from tobacco companies themselves, television, newspapers, websites, and Wikipedia itself. Just because YOU don't know something doesn't make it 'unsubstantiated'.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.34.234.247 (talk • contribs) .
The link above (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigarette#Radioisotopes) suggests the main two elements involved are: lead-210 and polonium-210. Neither is present in pure calcium phosphate and it's a little disingenuous to suggest that they are without commentry on purity of fertilisers etc. Perhaps a rewording would be useful?

What is the reference for the 90% of lung cancers? It sounds dubious to me, but this is outside my sphere of knowledge. MidgleyDJ22:18, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This paper, Hecht SS (1999) Tobacco Smoke Carcinogens and Lung Cancer, Journal of the National Cancer Institute91(14) 1194-1210. Says that there is not enough Polonium 210 in cigarette smoke to significantly impact lung cancer in smokers. MidgleyDJ08:16, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Calcium hydroxide phosphate, (Ca5(OH)(PO4)3) [12167-74-7]. Please do not auto-direct this chemical to the one that the CAS number is not identical. My personal preference is to using CA index name. However, welcome to adopt another name that matches the international chemical naming system of IUPAC
I propose that we convert this article to a disambiguation site, directing readers to the various phosphates of calcium. These are important materials and we should try to get this right. Suggestions welcome. --Smokefoot (talk) 11:56, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It seems as though monocalcium (based upon the pictures) is 2 phosphate and one Ca++ ion, however, for dicalcium there is one of each, and then for tricalcium there are again 2 phosphates, but in this case there are 3, rather than 1, calcium ions. While this could be correct (yes, there is twice as much calcium per phosphate in di than mono calcium) this similarly seems like it could have been an error in the manufacturing of the images. I don't have time to research this right now as I have to get back to studying, but I thought it worth noting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.184.112.126 (talk) 22:14, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
