Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lethal War Gases, Physiology and Experimental Treatment: An Investigation by the Section on Intermediary Metabolism of the Medical Division of the Chemical Warfare Service at Yale University With the entrance of the United States into the war a small group of men connected with the Bureau of Mines were appointed a committee by Director Van H. Manning for the pur pose of investigating toxic gases employed in warfare. The Chairman of the committee was George A. Burrell (later Colonel Burrell), who was designated Assistant to the Director. To Professor Yandell Henderson of Yale University was given the task of organizing the Medical Division to study the physiological effects of war gases and the institution of therapeutic measures. The importance of the investigation is attested by the extremely rapid growth of the organization, the chemical branch of which was finally located at the American University in Washington, the Medical Division having Yale University for its center. This organiza tion, developed under the Director of the Bureau of Mines, was supplied with funds by the Army and Navy, and formed the nucleus of what was later known as the Chemical Warfare Service, the War Department creating such a branch of the Army by absorption of this portion of the Bureau of Mines. So long as the organization retained a civilian personnel the work was under the direction of Director Manning, Professor Yandell Henderson serving as Chairman of the Medical Division. With the transfer of the organization to the War Department Major General Wm. L. Sibert became Director of the Chemical Warfare Service, and Colonel Wm. J. Lyster was appointed Officer in Charge of the Medical Division. For the purposes of this volume a recital of the various ramifications of the branches of the war gas investiga tion would lead too far afield; the immediate interest attaches to the development of the Medical Division. The Medical Division as first instituted comprised four sections as follows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Review of Submarine Escape Action Levels for Selected Chemicals written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-02-04 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On-board fires can occur on submarines after events such as collision or explosion. These fires expose crew members to toxic concentrations of combustion products such as ammonia, carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride, and hydrogen sulfide. Exposure to these substances at high concentrations may cause toxic effects to the respiratory and central nervous system; leading possible to death. T protect crew members on disabled submarines, scientists at the U.S. Navy Health Research Center's Toxicology Detachment have proposed two exposure levels, called submarine escape action level (SEAL) 1 and SEAL 2, for each substance. SEAL 1 is the maximum concentration of a gas in a disabled submarine below which healthy submariners can be exposed for up to 10 days without encountering irreversible health effects while SEAL 2 the maximum concentration of a gas in below which healthy submariners can be exposed for up to 24 hours without experiencing irreversible health effects. SEAL 1 and SEAL 2 will not impair the functions of the respiratory system and central nervous system to the extent of impairing the ability of crew members in a disabled submarine to escape, be rescued, or perform specific tasks. Hoping to better protect the safety of submariners, the chief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery requested that the National Research Council (NRC) review the available toxicologic and epidemiologic data on eight gases that are likely to be produced in a disabled submarine and to evaluate independently the scientific validity of the Navy's proposed SEALs for those gases. The NRC assigned the task to the Committee on Toxicology's (COT's) Subcommittee on Submarine Escape Action Levels. The specific task of the subcommittee was to review the toxicologic, epidemiologic, and related data on ammonia, carbon monoxide, chlorine, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide in order to validate the Navy's proposed SEALs. The subcommittee also considered the implications of exposures at hyperbaric conditions and potential interactions between the eight gases. Review of Submarine Escape Action Levels for Selected Chemicals presents the subcommittee's findings after evaluation human data from experimental, occupational, and epidemiologic studies; data from accident reports; and experimental-animal data. The evaluations focused primarily on high-concentration inhalation exposure studies. The subcommittee's recommended SEALs are based solely on scientific data relevant to health effects. The report includes the recommendations for each gas as determined by the subcommittee as well as the Navy's original instructions for these substances.
