In order to attain the degree of subdivision of diphenyl chloroarsine, diphenyl cyanoarsine or phenarsazine chloride which has been mentioned above, it is first necessary to volatilise the substance by some method and then to allow the vapour to condense in the air. This is carried out by means of the so-called irritant candles. ...

Veheity,— When cylinders and irritant candles are used, the velocity should not be leas than 3 miles per hour because winds liaving a lower velocity than this arc likely to be gusty and variable. They may die dowm or even reverse and blow the agent back on our owm troops. How ever, when the agent is delivered by artillery, mortars, projectors, or bombs, this lower limit of wind velocity need not be considered.

While the results of the Wohler-Liebig paper could easily be fitted into Berzelius scheme, a parallel development could not. Some candles bleached with chlorine had given off highly irritating vapors at a gathering at the Tuileries. Dumas was asked to investigate the problem. Chlorine, it turned out, had replaced hydrogen in the wax, volume for volume, or equivalent for equivalent as...

Most riot-control agents would be classified as irritants under DOT hazard class 6.1. No information is available on NFPA 704 designations for riot-control agents. UN four-digit identification numbers are listed for several types of tear gas and containers. Grenades and tear gas candles are poison 6.1 and flammable solids. Tear gas devices are assigned the number 1700 devices and the remaining types of tear gas are listed as 1693. 

Chemical troops were at this time (1940) armed with mortars, Livens projectors, chemical cylinders, irritant candles, and chemical land mines. The projector and the cylinder were generally considered to be in need of improvement, and the 4.2-inch chemical mortar was in fact developed as the result of CWS effort to increase the capability of chemical troops to discharge nonpersistent gas. Yet production of this mortar—then regarded as the primary weapon of chemical troops— had been suspended since 1935, and after the lapse of some five years the 8i-mm. mortar had been designated as the standard weapon for chemical troops. This arrange-...
