Modelling of Inhalation Poisoning with Sulphur Mustard Gas
https://doi.org/10.33647/2074-5982-16-3-106-110
Abstract
The present work describes the currently existing experimental models of sulphur mustard gas inhalation injury. These models were analysed in terms of their suitability for the development of medical protective equipment. It is proposed to use micro-sprayers, which provide the possibility of transferring mustard gas from a liquid state to an aerosol form while exhibiting an increased ergonomic simplicity and safety.
