HELP!!!! Water crystals have fallen in my pond

[1973scotty]

Please help!
I left a bag of water crystals containing "polyacrylamide" near the pond while i was planting out some flowers in my garden. I can only guess the the wind must have blown the packet and quite a few of the crystals fell into the pond. Please tell me they wont kill the palmate newts?????? i have got as many crystals out as i can but there all stuck in the pond weed and plants. I am so worried about the baby newts. i managed to get 20 of the babies out and transfer them to our bigger pond, but will the remaining ones be ok? is there anything i can do?

thank you in advance!

i dont think they will do any harm - the newts will hopefully be integigent enough not to eat them and they are non toxic and biodegrade naturally over time so should case any damage to the pond ecosystem
