Bains,1,3 and J.J. Petkowski1 Abstract Thousands of exoplanets are known to orbit nearby stars. Plans for the next generation of space-based and ground-based telescopes are fueling the anticipation that a precious few habitable planets can be identified in the coming decade. Even more highly anticipated is the chance to find signs of life on these habitable planets by way of biosignature gases. But which gases should we search for? Although a few biosignature gases are prominent in Earth’s atmospheric spectrum (O2,CH4,N2O), others have been considered as being produced at or able to accumulate to higher levels on exo-Earths (e.g., dimethyl sulfide and CH3Cl).

Definition of High Hazard (HH) Gases For these guidelines, any gas meeting one or more of the following definitions based on International Fire Code (IFC) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards: 1.1. Flammable gas – a material that is a gas at 68ºF (20ºC) or less at an absolute pressure of 14.7 psi (101.325 kPa) when in a mixture of 13% or less by volume with air, or that has a flammable range at an absolute pressure of 14.7 psi (101.325 kPa) with air of at least 12%, regardless of the lower limit 1.2. Pyrophoric gas – a gas with an autoignition temperature in air at or below 130ºF (54.4ºC) 1.3. Health Hazard 3 (HH3) gas – material that, under emergency conditions and according to the standards, can cause serious or permanent injury 1.4. Health Hazard 4 (HH4) gas – material that, under emergency conditions and according to the standards, can be lethal The storage and usage of a gas or gases meeting any of the above definitions must follow all applicable IFC and NFPA guidelines and the requirements outlined in this document. Consult EH&S for specific guidance on gas mixtures containing corrosive, flammable or poisonous gas components (ex. 1% carbon monoxide/nitrogen, 5% hydrogen sulfide/helium). 2.

  • Chemical Terrorism Fact Sheet
    Chemical Terrorism Fact Sheet Blood Agents - Arsines Arsine has a mild garlic odor. Photo courtesy of the Garlic Information Center, UK (Arsenic Hydride, AsH3) Protective Equipment/Detection Chemical Overview A positive-pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or supplied-air First identified in 1775, arsine is a respirator with a full-facepiece, or an air-purifying, full-facepiece respirator (gas highly poisonous, colorless, nonirritat- mask) with a chin-style, front- or back-mounted canister, is recommended for ing, flammable gas with a mild garlic odor at concentrations of 0.5 ppm and protection. Chemical-protective clothing is not required because arsine gas is not above (a level 10-fold greater than absorbed through the skin and does not cause skin irritation. OSHA permissible levels). Two and one half times heavier than air, it will settle to low-lying areas. It is soluble Decontamination in water, and slightly soluble in alcohol and alkalis. Victims exposed only to arsine gas do not need decontamination, but should be re- moved immediately from the contaminated environment. Arsine results when nascent hydrogen is generated in the presence of arsenic, or when water reacts with a metallic arse- nide. Fungi in the presence of arsenic Signs and Symptoms (especially in sewage) can also produce arsine. Stibine (SbH ), a toxic gas that Arsine is the most acutely toxic form of arsenic and preferentially binds to hemoglo- 3 is formed when antimony is exposed to bin. Inhibition of catalase may lead to the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide, which, nascent hydrogen, equals or surpasses as an oxidizer, destroys red cell membranes and aids the arsine-induced conversion of arsine in toxicity and causes a specific +2 +3 Fe to Fe , which further impairs oxygen transport.
