Since its establishment in 1910 as a bureau of the Department of the Interior, the Bureau of Mines had maintained on its staff a number of scientists and engineers who studied the toxic and asphyxiating gases often found in mines. Considering this expertise to be of value in the area of gas warfare, the director of the Bureau of Mines, Van H. Manning, offered the services of his bureau to the military committee of the NRC on February 8, 1917... [Pg.179]

The Chemical Corps originally established the Chemical Warfare Service (CWS) in 1918, motivated by the horrors of gas warfare that they witnessed during WW I. In 1922, it created a Medical Research Division. Its mission was to defend against chemical agents. [Pg.247]

Fritz Haber is a major contributor to human welfare through finding the means to convert elemental nitrogen into ammonia. That is the heroic side of Fritz Haber. He is also known as the father of chemical warfare based on his development of chlorine as a lethal gas during World War 1. Haber was Germany s tsar of gas warfare. He went to the front personally to oversee the placement of chlorine tanks as gas warfare weapons. [Pg.69]

By April 1915, Germany introduced gas warfare. In 1917, the Secretary of the Interior charged the Bureau of Mines with working on gas problems, and the Bureau engaged the Chemistry Committee of the National Research Council (NRC) to help initiate the work. The NRC Committee along with others in academe and the chemical industry constituted what ultimately became the Chemical Warfare Service of the U.S. Army. The gases and protective equipment were produced at Edgewood Arsenal in Maryland and New York City, respectively (Skolnik Reese, 1976). [Pg.2]

Physical Properties.—Sulphur dioxide is a colourless gas possessing a pungent, choking odour, and exerting an extremely irritating action on the mucous membrane. In consequence of this it has been used in poison gas warfare, but it is not efficient against well-equipped troops on account of the ease with which it is extracted from the air by respirators. Approximately 0-0005 per cent, can be detected by the sense of smell, whilst 0-05 j>er cent, is unendurable.2 Vegetation is injured if the concentration of the gas exceeds 0-003 per cent. [Pg.106]

The Allied armies began demobilisation activities almost immediately after the victory in Japan in August 1945, and by early 1946 chemical warfare personnel (now renamed chemical defence) numbered approximately the same as in the pre-war period. One contemporary observer commented, Gas warfare is obsolete Yes, like the cavalry and horse-drawn artillery, it is outmoded, archaic and of historical interest only. This is the atomic age 74... [Pg.79]
