Detection of Mustard Gas (h), Lewisite (l), Ethyldichlorarsine (ed), and Phenyldichlorarsine (pd) with Trained Dogs or Rats
نویسنده
چکیده
Dogs and rats may be trained to detect very low concentrations of mustard gas (0.1 gamma per liter of air) by shocking the animals with an induction coil when they touch meat which has been exposed to the gas. Animals trained in this way will refuse meat which is contaminated with the gas.

Method for Obtaining Known Low Concentrations of Mustard (h) or Lewisite (l) Gas in Air
Constant small quantities (0.1 to 100 micrograms per hour) of mustard (H) or lewisite (L) gas may be obtained by allowing the vapor to diffuse through a porous alundum plug of suitable dimensions. By regulating the rate of flow of air past the plug known concentrations of the gases in air may be obtained.
متن کاملToxicity of vesicant agents scheduled for destruction by the Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program.
The vesicant agents of the unitary chemical munitions stockpile include various formulations of sulfur mustard [bis-(2-chloroethyl) sulfide; agents H, HD, and HT] and small quantities of the organic arsenical Lewisite [dichloro(2-chlorovinyl) arsine; agent L]. These agents can be dispersed in liquid, aerosol, or vapor form and are capable of producing severe chemical burns upon direct contact w...

متن کاملTNF-alpha expression patterns as potential molecular biomarker for human skin cells exposed to vesicant chemical warfare agents: sulfur mustard (HD) and Lewisite (L).
Studies were conducted to examine the effect of two vesicant chemical warfare agents (VCWA), one of them an arsenical, on cytokine gene expression in normal human epidermal keratinocyte (NHEK) cells. We tested 2,2'-dichlorethylsulfide (sulfur mustard, military designation HD) and 2,chlorovinyldichloroarsine (Lewisite, military designation L), which have significant differences in their chemical...

A colorimetric method for detection and assay of mustard gas in urine after addition of thymolphthalein is reported. The detection limit was 80 ng/ml of llrine. Mustard gas could also be detected in urine after extraction with gas chromatography using FID detector. The detection limit was 10 ng/ml. In addition, thiodiglycol, a metabolite of mustard gas, could be converted to mustard with ...
