A reduced toxicity baseline screening smoke composition and method includes a mixture of lithium perchlorate and boron. The mixture may further include a burn rate modifier and any of an inorganic chloride coolant and a carbonate coolant. The lithium perchlorate may be in the range of 75% to 95% parts by weight. The boron may be in the range of 5% to 25% parts by weight. The any of an inorganic chloride coolant and a carbonate coolant may be in the range of 5% to 25% parts by weight. The mixture may include boron oxide.

A smoke producing method and device of the present disclosure produces a non-incendiary, organic-polymerization based, smoke-producing reaction. The method of generating smoke comprises initiating a frontal polymerization reaction by heating a composition comprising a monomer compound that exothermically polymerizes upon initiation with an initiator compound and an initiator compound that initiates polymerization of the monomer compound present at a mass concentration that is at least five percent of the mass concentration of the monomer compound. The polymerization of the monomer compound is exothermic, and in one embodiment the concentration of initiator compound is at least five percent of the concentration of monomer compound. The smoke mainly comprises thermal decomposition products of the initiator compound.

A foamy composition for preventing frost in plants comprise a hydrolyzed protein compound, a bubble stabilizer, a bubble stability enhancer, and a wetting agent. The hydrolyzed protein compound contain a plurality of amino acids that at least one of the amino acids have a foaming capability. The source of the amino acids can be a plant or an animal source, so that the foamy composition also performs as a growth stimulant and plant strengthening. It leads to the improvement of the plant growth and reproduction.
