HD, distilled mustard

Skin and eye toxicity. 633mg-min/m3 will produce casualties by eye injury. On bare skin PD is about 90% as blistering as HD (distilled mustard), but it is decompd immediately by wet clothing... 

Chemical Agent HD Distilled mustard (HD), or bis (2-chloroethyl) sulfide, (CAS 505-60-2) is mustard (H) that has been purified by washing and vacuum distillation to reduce sulfur impurities Agent HD is a blister agent.

Sulfur mustards (designated H [mustard], HD [distilled mustard], and HT [HD and T mixture]) do not present acute lethal hazards. Their principal effect is severe blistering of the skin and mucous membranes. Epidemiological evidence indicates a causal relationship between exposure to mustard agent at high concentrations and the development of chronic nonreversible respiratory disorders, such as chronic bronchitis and asthma, and ocular diseases, such as delayed recurrent keratitis and prolonged, intractable conjunctivitis (IOM, 1993). Sulfur mustard has been classified as a known human carcinogen based on evidence of in-... 

Papirmeister and his colleagues have studied the effects of sulphur mustard on DNA in great detail (an excellent account is provided in Papirmeister et al., 1985). The authors pointed out that the major sites of DNA alkylation by sulphur mustard (HD distilled mustard) are ...

The system was designed to validate the capability of the SILVER IF process to destroy chemical agents VX, GB (both are nerve agents), and HD (distilled mustard). It was also intended to demonstrate the effective destruction of agent simulants chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) and dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) for comparison with results from the 12 kW system.
