Sarin and Air Permeation Through a Nanoporous Graphene [PDF]

open access: yesMRS Advances 5, 1475 (2020), 2020
Sarin gas is a dangerous chemical warfare agent (CWA). It is a nerve agent capable of bringing a person to death in about 15 minutes. A lethal concentration of sarin molecules in air is about 30 mg/m3. Experimental research on this gas requires very careful safety protocols for handling and storage.

Glutathione conjugates of the mercapturic acid pathway and guanine adduct as biomarkers of exposure to CEES, a sulfur mustard analog [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Sulfur mustard (SM), a chemical warfare agent, is a strong alkylating compound that readily reacts with numerous biomolecules. The goal of the present work was to define and validate new biomarkers of exposure to SM that could be easily accessible in urine or plasma. Because investigations using SM are prohibited by the Organization for the Prohibition
