The second gas was dichloroethyl sulfide, mustard gas,
Yellow Gross or Yperite. Mustard gas, as it is commonly
designated, is probably the most important single poisonous
substance used in gas warfare. It was first used by the
Germans at Ypres, July 12, 1917.
The amount of this gas used
is illustrated by the fact that at Nieuport
more than 50,000
shell were fired in one night, some of which
contained nearly
three gallons of the liquid.
Mustard gas is a high boiling and very persistent material,
which is characterized by its vesicant
(skin blistering) action.
Men who come in contact with it, either in the form of fine
splashes of the liquid or in the form of vapor, suffer severe
blistering of the skin. The burns appear from four to twelve
hours after exposure and heal very slowly.
Ordinary clothing
is no protection against either the vapor or the liquid.
