Surface decontamination for blister agents Lewisite, sulfur mustard and agent yellow, a Lewisite and sulfur mustard mixture

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2016
Sulfur mustard (HD) and Lewisite (L) are blister agents that have a high potential for terrorist use; Agent Yellow (HL) is the eutectic mixture of HD and L. Bench-scale testing was used to determine the residual amount of these chemical warfare agents remaining on three building materials (wood, metal and glass) after application of various ...

Degradation of the blister agent sulfur mustard, bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide, on concrete

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2007
The products formed from the degradation of the blister agent sulfur mustard [bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide] on concrete were identified using gas chromatography with mass spectrometry detection (GC/MSD), (1)H NMR, 2D (1)H-(13)C NMR and (13)C solid state magic angle spinning (SSMAS) NMR. In situ and extraction experiments were performed.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectral analysis of blister agents and their hydrolysis products

SPIE Proceedings, 2006
Protection of military personnel and civilians from water supplies poisoned by chemical warfare agents requires an analyzer that has sufficient sensitivity (μg/L), selectivity (differentiate the warfare agents from its hydrolysis products), and speed (less than 10 minutes) to be of value.

DEACTIVATION OF BLISTERING AGENTS: LITERATURE REVIEW

Recently, the relevance of research into the design of effective systems for the decomposition of chemical weaponscomponents has been dictated by the current large-scale Russian-Ukrainian war with a high probability of theenemy using chemical weapons to exterminate both the military and civilian population.

Ionic Liquid Gel-Based Containment and Decontamination Coating for Blister Agent-Contacted Substrates

Chemistry of Materials, 2012
Current methods to contain and decontaminate materials contacted by toxic chemical warfare agents (CWAs) have disadvantages with respect to ease of delivery, portability, and effectiveness on porous substrates. A portable, easy-to-use, spreadable coating that immediately acts as a barrier to contain CWA vapors on contacted substrates and also ...

Potential fate of blistering chemical warfare agents in the coastal waters of Kuwait.

Journal of Environmental Science and Health . Part A: Environmental Science and Engineering and Toxicology, 1994
Abstract: The Iran‐Iraq war, followed by the Iraqi aggression against Kuwait, and the use of certain blistering chemical warfare agents, in the Arabian Gulf region triggered the interest of environmental scientists on the probable fate of these chemical agents if drifting to the Arabian Gulf unique marine environment.

Detecting hydrolysis products of blister agents in water by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy

SPIE Proceedings, 2005
Protecting the nation's drinking water from terrorism, requires microg/L detection of chemical agents and their hydrolysis products in less than 10 minutes. In an effort to aid military personnel and the public at large, we have been investigating the ability of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to detect microgram per liter (part-per-billion)

Design and development of a prototype for specific naked-eye detection of blister and nerve agents

Analytical Methods, 2021
We designed a prototype technique in the form of a portable chemical weapon detection kit to facilitate rapid and onsite detection. A range of unique chemical probes were condensed to achieve specific chromo-fluorogenic detection and discrimination of blister and nerve agents.

Pharmacokinetic studies of antibacterial agents using the suction blister method.

Scandinavian journal of infectious diseases. Supplementum, 1991
The suction blister technique was used for pharmacokinetic studies with sulfonamides and trimethoprim. Blisters produced by suction (-0.3 kg/cm2) for 1.5 h contained approximately 0.15 ml fluid with a protein content of 40-50% of that in plasma, the main protein fractions being present in the same ratio as in plasma.
