Objective: Sulphur mustard (SM), chemically 2,2'-dichloro diethyl sulphide, is an incapacitating and extremely toxic chemical warfare agent, and causes serious blisters on contact with human skin. SM forms sulphonium ion in the body that alkylates DNA and several other macromolecules, and induces oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of Aloe vera L. gel a...

The field experiment was conducted during Rabi season, 2021 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P) under sandy loam soil conditions. laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments each replicated thrice comprising three levels Zinc (6, 8 and 10 kg/ha) sulphur (20 kg S/ha, 40 S/ha 60 S/ha). results showed that the growth par...

This study investigates removing ash and pyrite sulphur from bitumen by column flotation process. Central composite design (CCD) of response surface methodology (RSM) was applied for modeling and optimization of the percentage of ash and pyrite sulphur removal from bitumen. The effects of five parameters namely the amounts of collector and frother agents, particle size, wash water rate and feed...

Chemical simulants have long been used in human trials of mass decontamination to determine the efficacy interventions against more toxic agents. Until now, reliance has mostly on individual chemicals as surrogates specific agents (e.g., methyl salicylate for sulphur mustard). A literature review was conducted identify that had previously tested volunteers and represent diverse physicochemical ...

OBJECTIVES This study describes exposures to military veterans who participated between 1941 and 1989 in British research at Porton Down on the effects of exposure to chemical warfare agents and to defences against those agents. The study is part of a programme of epidemiological research initiated in response to service veterans' concerns about possible long-term health effects of their partic...

peanut are one of the paired plants of oilseed and protein seed oil is a rich source. in order to evaluate effects sulphur and zinc on growth characteristics and yield of peanuts, a experiment was conducted in bandar kiashahr, guilan province, iran in 2008. the experiment laid out in a factorial arrangement with two factors sulphur (0, 40, 80, 120 kg ha) and zinc chelate on (0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 g...

background: sulfur mustard was the most widely applied chemical warfare agent by the iraqi army in iran–iraq war (1983-1988). considering the role of sulfur mustard toxicity in hematopoietic neoplasms and also new role of jak2 mutation in these neoplasms, we assessed this mutation and delayed hematologic complications in veterans exposed to sulfur mustard. methods: this case control study was p...
