Metal-Fluorocarbon Reactions as an Exclusive Aerosol Source 

Zinc hexachloroethane (HC) mixtures have been successfully appHed since World War 1 as a source of hygroscopic ZnCl2-based aerosol in the so-called HC smokes [5]. However, on hydrolysis, ZnCl2 yields highly corrosive solutions that destroy material and cause severe lesions to living tissue and are held responsible for a numerous deaths among soldiers on inhalation of HC-based smokes [6].
