TESTS WERE CONDUCTED TO DETERMINE IF CS AEROSOLS, UNDER TROPICAL CONDITIONS, OFFER THREAT TO NONSENSITIZED HUMANS.
Abstract
THE PROCEDURES FOR THESE TESTS ARE DESCRIBED AND DISCUSSED. THE VOLUNTEERS MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO SUNBURN DISPLAYED THE MOST SEVERE REACTIONS. HEALING OF MINOR WOUNDS WERE NOT AFFECTED BY CS BURNS. ARMS COVERED BY FATIGUE UNIFORM SLEEVES REMAINED REACTION FREE. THE DISABILITY OF THESE SECOND DEGREE CHEMICAL BURNS IS TREATABLE BUT MAY INCAPACITATE THE RECIPIENT UP TO 10 DAYS. (REFERENCES)
