Can some information please be provided on the toxicity (or lack thereof) of limescale and related chemicals? Or perhaps a link could be provided to such information --Mydoghasworms 06:44, 21 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

For that matter, maybe someone could say about any of the problems associated with any of it? (If I happen to find anything, I'll still be too busy to write it up tonight, sorry) --195.92.168.164 02:13, 29 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Correction needed?

"Calcium salts, such as calcium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate are both more soluble in hot water than cold water"

Calcium Carbonate is actually more soluble in cold water:

Useful Applications?

edit

Has there been any experimenting or studies done to show that this mineral is useful in any way? Because I don't see it in the article. 68.190.116.202 (talk) 11:21, 8 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Eifel marble

edit

There are also small quarries in Roderath and Kall-Urft. The natural stone from these quarries has been sometimes also called "Eifelmarmor". The more correct term therefore would be "Äquaduktenmarmor" (aequaduct marble). The German wiki entry claims a thickness of the layer up to 30 centimeters [[1]]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:E5:173E:5E48:51CE:41E3:71CD:577F (talk) 09:46, 11 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
