2-Chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) is a simulant for the chemical warfare agent, bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide, also known as mustard gas. Functionalized Zr-BTC synthesized and exploited optical detection of CEES.

Highly toxic chemical warfare agents(CWA) could be used in and terrorism. The protection of skin is crucial for civilians soldiers, because the primary routes exposure to CWA are inhalation absorption. Thus, topical protectants(TSP) have been studied developed many countries complement protective equipments. In this study, <i>in-vitro</i> test procedure was optimized established usi...

at the present study, different properties of sarin with the formula [(ch3)2cho]ch3pof was studiedin gas phase. geometrical optimizations of sarin, single point calculation, nmr and electricalparameters were carried out in gas phase with the hartee -fock method coupled to 6-31g* basis setsfor all atoms. the results obtained from a comparison between tables and charts came up fordiscussion and a...

At the request of the U.S. Army Project Manager for Non-Stockpile Chemical Materiel, Sandia National Laboratories is developing a transportable system for destroying recovered, explosively configured, chemical warfare munitions. The system uses shaped charges to access the chemical agent and burster followed by chemical neutralization to destroy them. The entire process takes place inside a sea...

As one of the most important vesicant agents, the destructive properties of mustards on the skin, eyes and respiratory system, combined with a lack of antidote, makes them effective weapons. Such weapons are inexpensive, easily obtainable and frequently stockpiled. Sulphur mustard (mustard gas) has been used as a chemical warfare agent in at least 10 conflicts. In this article, the use of musta...
