Badges of Immobilized Enzymes: Detection of Chemical Warfare Agents

Rapid detection of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) in all of its forms including gas and liquid is of paramount importance to protect the warfighter or first responders in homeland defense. CWAs such as OPs and vesicants pose serious threats because these agents can be ingested with contaminated food or rapidly penetrate skin. We reported that polyurethane immobilized cholinesterases (acetyl and...

objective: the aim of this study was to determine the associates of marital relationship in mustard exposed veterans. materials and methods: two hundred ninety two married iranian mustard exposed veterans, who had been exposed to single high dose mustard gas in iraq-iran war, were assessed for marital adjustment with revised dyadic adjustment scale (rdas). census sampling was done. the patients...

Multifunctional ultra-high vacuum apparatus for studies of the interactions of chemical warfare agents on complex surfaces A fundamental understanding of the surface chemistry of chemical warfare agents

Multifunctional ultra-high vacuum apparatus for studies of the interactions of chemical warfare agents on complex surfaces Report Title A fundamental understanding of the surface chemistry of chemical warfare agents is needed to fully predict the interaction of these toxic molecules with militarily relevant materials, catalysts, and environmental surfaces. For example, rules for predicting the ...
