The chronic effects of sulfur mustard exposure

Toxicology, 2009
Whilst the acute effects of sulfur mustard have been relatively well characterised, the chronic effects of short term but significant exposures are still evolving. The approximately 30,000 Iranian victims of CW exposure from the 1980 to 1988 Iran-Iraq war who are currently being followed form a key population who are now 20 years post-exposure. The key

Reaction of elemental sulfur in ethylenediamine with sulfur mustard

Journal of Sulfur Chemistry, 2005
Reaction of elemental sulfur in ethylenediamine with 1,1-thiobis(2-chloroethane) or sulfur mustard, the potent chemical warfare agent has been studied. The optimum conditions for the reaction are established for the complete conversion of sulfur mustard into non-toxic products.

Development of a Series of Fluorescent Probes for the Early Diagnostic Imaging of Sulfur Mustard Poisoning

ACS Sensors, 2019
Sulfur mustard is one of the most harmful chemical warfare agents and can induce skin, eye, and lung injuries. However, it is hard for medical stuff to diagnose sulfur mustard poisoning early because of the incubation period after sulfur mustard exposure.

NAD+ in sulfur mustard toxicity

Toxicology Letters, 2020
Sulfur mustard (SM) is a toxicant and chemical warfare agent with strong vesicant properties. The mechanisms behind SM-induced toxicity are not fully understood and no antidote or effective therapy against SM exists. Both, the risk of SM release in asymmetric conflicts or terrorist attacks and the usage of SM-derived nitrogen mustards as cancer ...

Exposure to liquid sulfur mustard

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 2001
Chemical weapons continue to pose a serious threat to humanity. With the use of chemical weapons by terrorists in Tokyo, and the projected disarming of the chemical weapon stockpile in this country, the possibility that emergency physicians will encounter patients contaminated by chemical munitions, such as sulfur mustard, exists.

Lung Carcinogenicity of Sulfur Mustard

Clinical Lung Cancer, 2010
Sulfur mustard (SM), a major potent chemical warfare agent, has been used for its acute toxic effects. Over time, unfortunately, many different long-term health effects of exposure to SM have been detected in humans. There are many available data from soldiers or civilians exposed to SM: testing programs, contaminated workers in factories who were ...

Sulfur mustard and respiratory diseases

Critical Reviews in Toxicology, 2012
Victims exposed to sulfur mustard (HD) in World War I and Iran-Iraq war, and those suffered occupational or accidental exposure have endured discomfort in the respiratory system at early stages after exposure, and marked general physical deterioration at late stages due to pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiolitis obliterans or lung cancer. At molecule levels,

Effect of sulfur mustard on melanogenesis in vitro

Toxicology Letters, 2020
The chemical warfare agent sulfur mustard (SM) affects all cells in the epidermis including melanocytes which are responsible for melanin synthesis. After exposure to SM, pigment abnormalities like hypo- and hyperpigmentation can occur. The underlying molecular pathomechanisms of SM exposure on human melanogenesis have not been elucidated so far.
