Antioxidants sulfur mustard

Medical management of nitrogen mustard exposure is similar to that for sulfur mustard and involves prevention of exposure and, where exposure has occurred, decontamination and support therapy. The use of antioxidants in the treatment of nitrogen mustard toxicity is currently under investigation (Hardej and Billack, 2006).
