Follicular pathway role in chemical warfare simulants percutaneous penetration

open access: closedJournal of Applied Toxicology, 2020
AbstractChemical warfare (CW) exposure could be fatal to military and civilians through skin contamination. Our work and others focus on investigating stratum corneum reservoir with less regards to skin appendageal routes including hair follicles. Here, C‐14 CW simulants (CWS) with specific activity of 0.1 mCi/ml were tested on abdominal and scalp ...

Chemical Warfare Agent VX Penetration Through Military Uniform and Human Skin

open access: closed, 2005
Most well-known warfare chemicals have similar molecular structures as the organophosphorus compounds. Percutaneous absorption and regional variation form the final barrier between the “outside” and the “inside” of the body where toxicity occurs. Percutaneous absorption is influenced by moisture, and certainly a soldier or civilian will sweat, and it ...

PENETRATION STUDIES OF ICE WITH APPLICATION TO ARCTIC AND SUBARCTIC WARFARE

open access: closed, 1965
Abstract : Impact tests were made on floating ice slabs with particular attention devoted to the mechanism of penetration. The range of values investigated for the basic parameters was: impact velocity, 8 ft/sec - 21 ft/ sec; projectile mass, 4.56 lb - 5.22 lb and penetrator diameter, 5/16 in. - 1-1/ 4 in.

Orde Wingate, ‘Guerrilla’ Warfare and Long-range Penetration, 1940–44

open access: closedSmall Wars & Insurgencies, 2006
Major General Orde Wingate was a highly controversial figure in his time and remains so among historians. However, his eccentric and colourful personality has drawn attention away from the nature of his military ideas, the most important of which was his concept of long-range penetration, which originated from his observations of his operations in ...

Protective Properties of Standard Combat Clothing Against Skin Penetration of Supertoxic Lethal Chemical Warfare Agents

open access: closed, 1999
The protective effect of various layers of standard combat clothing was quantified in biological experiments according to the decrease of percutaneous toxicity of main types of contemporary supertoxic lethal chemical warfare agents. The protective effect is expressed as protective index IP50 (corresponding to the multiple of percutaneous LD50) in ...

ZIF-8/Graphene Oxide Hybrid Membranes as Breathable and Protective Barriers against Chemical Warfare Agents.

ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 2023
Personal protective equipment against chemical warfare agents and other toxic chemicals must be protective, be breathable, and have a low thermal burden. Selectively permeable membranes are promising candidates for such equipment. In this study, a hybrid
