  • Aum Shinrikyo's
    Chronology of Aum Shinrikyo’s CBW Activities Introduction Six years ago, on March 20, 1995, five members of the Japanese cult Aum Shinrikyo (Supreme Truth) boarded subway trains in Tokyo, Japan, and released the deadly chemical nerve agent sarin. The attack killed 12 people and injured over 1,000, of whom 17 were critically injured (requiring intensive care), 37 were severely injured (with muscular twitching and gastrointestinal problems), and 984 were slightly injured (with pinpoint pupils but no other symptoms). Aum’s interest in chemical and biological weapons (CBW) terrorism can be traced back to 1990. Between 1990 and 1995, Aum launched 17 known CBW attacks, with motivations ranging from assassination to mass murder. Of these attacks, 10 were carried out with chemical weapons (four with sarin, four with VX, one with phosgene, and one with hydrogen cyanide) and seven attempted attacks were carried out with biological agents (four with anthrax and three with botulinum toxin, although in both cases the microbial strains were apparently nonvirulent). In addition to these cases, Aum is alleged to have killed 20 of its dissident members with VX and has been linked more tenuously to more than 19 other CBW attacks and attempted attacks (13 attacks where Aum involvement is suspected and six possible copycats). Since 1995, many of the perpetrators of the Tokyo subway attack have been jailed and are awaiting trial, and others have been sentenced to life in prison or to death by hanging. Although Aum has changed its name to Aleph, has decreased significantly in numbers, and claims to focus on its computer software company, its dangerous apocalyptic ideology remains.

To facilitate this additional evaluation ARCADIS integrated an air monitoring and sampling expert into the project team to review the site practices and conditions. The overall project team reviewed all aspects of the recent cylinder event including discovery, intermediate handling, over-pack application, and finally shipping from the site. Several aspects were noted as having a higher potential to greatly affect capture and dispersion of an emission event from a cylinder. These aspects included: 1- The embossed number on one of the cylinders suggests it could have originally contained one of the following compounds: phosphine, arsine, diborane, nitric oxide, and nitrogen dioxide. The color of an additional cylinder suggests that it could potentially contain phosgene. The evaluation discussed in this memo used arsine and phosgene as a worst-case condition model. 2 - The arrangement of the pit and the tent-like enclosure over the work area allows direct wind only from its open ends.

  • Concept for CBRN Full Facepiece Air Purifying Respirator Standard
    June 15, 2002 (DRAFT FOR DISCUSSION) Concept for CBRN Full Facepiece Air Purifying Respirator Standard (1) Goal: Develop a NIOSH, NPPTL, tight fitting, full facepiece, air purifying respirator standard that addresses CBRN materials identified as inhalation hazards and/or possible terrorist hazards using a minimum number of filters for emergency responders. Target: Four (4) filters Short Duration Long Duration TIMs 15 minutes* 60 minutes* TIMs plus CO 15 minutes* 60 minutes* * Indicated times are for illustration only. Actual times will be established from hazard modeling and developmental test results. (2) Hazards: NIOSH has been evaluating various lists of chemicals that could be deployed as a result of a terrorist incident. In an effort to reduce the number of certification tests necessary as part of a Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear (CBRN) Air-Purifying Respirator (APR) standard, efforts have been underway to categorize potential respiratory hazards into families with a representative test chemical identified for each family. The following information is a synopsis of this effort to date. The current carbon technology used in canisters and cartridges were reviewed from existing certification standards. The current standards for gas masks in Europe and the U.S. (NIOSH) were reviewed. The military purchasing specification for ASZM-T carbon for C2A1 military canisters was also reviewed. The most common parameters identified from the review of the military specification and the certification standards were the middle range certification challenges. Some of the test chemicals were considered to be redundant, since other test chemicals would guarantee the carbon effectiveness against the chemicals in question (Chlorine, Hydrogen Chloride, Hydrogen Fluoride, Phosphine, CS & CN Tear Gases).

  • Website Chlorine Pwdr Sugar Water Phosgene Tear
    Phosgene 2 Gases 44P make Hydrogen website Tear Gas,2 KCN 2, make somoom Chemical Agents Chlorine pwdr Ricin CHLORINE,2 Sugar water Phosgene Phosgene, also known as carbonic dichloride, colorless, extremely toxic gas of formula COCl2 with an unpleasant, irritating odor at high concentrations. It is prepared by the reaction of carbon monoxide with chlorine in the presence of a catalyst. Phosgene is poisonous in concentrations above 50 parts per million of air, and if inhaled, it causes severe and often fatal edema of the lungs within a few hours. It was used in World War I as a poison gas but today is used principally as an intermediate in the synthesis of organic compounds, including carbonic esters, isocyanates, polyurethanes, and dyes. Phosgene is 3.43 times heavier than air; the gas melts at -118° C (-180.4° F) and boils at 8.3° C (46.9° F). Look here Chemical war section. Tear Gas I INTRODUCTION Tear Gas, chemical substance that produces a primary physical effect of stinging or tearing eyes. Tear gas also irritates other mucous membranes and causes choking and coughing. People exposed to higher concentrations may experience burning, itching, or even blistering skin. As a form of riot control, police often use clouds of tear gas to break up crowds of people. A rifle-fired grenade or a thrown canister usually delivers tear gas, but smaller hand- held spray devices also exist. Tear gas may also be used to force the surrender of fugitives hiding in a building. Dogs and horses are relatively unaffected by tear gas, so they can add to the riot-control effect of the gas.

  • Oxides Affording Phosphines(III) and Their Metal Catalysts
    pubs.acs.org/Organometallics Article A Mild One-Pot Reduction of Phosphine(V) Oxides Affording Phosphines(III) and Their Metal Catalysts Łukasz Kapusniak,́ Philipp N. Plessow, Damian Trzybinski,́ Krzysztof Wozniak,́ Peter Hofmann, and Phillip Iain Jolly* Cite This: Organometallics 2021, 40, 693−701 Read Online ACCESS Metrics & More Article Recommendations *sı Supporting Information ABSTRACT: The metal-free reduction of a range of phosphine(V) oxides employing oxalyl chloride as an activating agent and hexachlorodisilane as reducing reagent has been achieved under mild reaction conditions. The method was successfully applied to the reduction of industrial waste byproduct triphenylphosphine(V) oxide, closing the phosphorus cycle to cleanly regenerate triphenylphosphine(III). Mechanistic studies and quantum chemical calculations support the attack of the dissociated chloride anion of intermediated phosphonium salt at the silicon of the disilane as the rate-limiting step for deprotection. The exquisite purity of the resultant phosphine(III) ligands after the simple removal of volatiles under reduced pressure circumvents laborious purification prior to metalation and has permitted the facile formation of important transition metal catalysts. ■ INTRODUCTION Scheme 1. Phosphine Synthesis: Background and This a Applications of Phosphine(III) Ligands and Synthesis. Work Phosphines and their derivatives are of significant importance to both academic and industrial chemistry. In particular, within organic chemistry phosphine(III) compounds have a distin- guished history, mediating classical transformations such as the Appel,1 Mitsunobu,2 and Wittig3,4 reactions. Additionally, the ready modulation of electronic and steric properties of phosphine(III) has made them excellent ligands for the formation of well-defined transition metal complexes,5 although recalcitrant phosphine(V) oxides arise, when 6 Downloaded via KIT BIBLIOTHEK on April 16, 2021 at 16:05:05 (UTC).

  • AFSCME Fact Sheet on Welding Hazards (PDF)
    WELDING HAZARDS Welding joins pieces of metal by the use of heat, pressure, or both. Brazing, or soldering, involves a filler metal or alloy (a combination of metals) which has a lower melting point than the metal pieces to be joined. The filler materials (such as lead and cadmium) can be very toxic. Metal cutting is done by heating the metal with a flame and directing a stream of pure oxygen along the line to be cut. There are more than 80 different types of welding and associated processes. Some of the most common types of welding are: arc welding, which includes “stick,” or shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), the gas-shielded methods of metal inert gas (MIG) and tungsten inert gas (TIG), plasma arc welding (PAW) and submerged arc welding (SAW). Other welding processes may use oxy-acetylene gas, electrical current lasers, electron beams, friction, ultrasonic sound, chemical reactions, heat from fuel gas and robots. Health Hazards of Welding Gases and Fumes Welding “smoke” is a mixture of very fine particles (fumes) and gases. Many of the substances in welding smoke, such as chromium, nickel, arsenic, asbestos, manganese, silica, beryllium, cadmium, nitrogen oxides, phosgene, acrolein, fluorine compounds, carbon monoxide, cobalt, copper, lead, ozone, selenium and zinc, can be extremely toxic. Generally, welding fumes and gases come from: the base material being welded or the filler material that is used; coatings and paints on the metal being welded, or coatings covering the electrode; shielding gases supplied from cylinders; chemical reactions which result by the action of ultraviolet light from the arc and heat; process and consumables used; and contaminants in the air, for example vapors from cleaners and degreasers.
