Yperite or mustard gas is a chemical compound with the formula S (CH2CH2Cl ) 2. Combat poisonous substance of skin blistering action, according to the mechanism of action - a poison of cytotoxic action, an alkylating agent. It was synthesized by Cesar Despres in 1822 and (independently) by the British scientist Frederick Guthrie in 1860. Initially, the substance was named Lost - an abbreviation for the names of the scientists Wilhelm Lommel and Wilhelm Steinkopf, who created in 1916 a method for its production on an industrial scale for the German Imperial Army . For the first time, mustard gas was used by Germany on July 12, 1917 against the Anglo-French troops, who were fired at with mines containing an oily liquid, near the Belgian city of Ypres (hence the name of this substance). In addition, mustard gas was used by Italy in the Italo-Ethiopian war of 1935-1936. In December 1943, as a result of the bombing of the city of Bari by German aircraft, the American transport "John Harvey", carrying mustard gas bombs, was sunk. As a result of the gas leak, a large number of American sailors and local residents were poisoned, including fatal ones.  Before your bid please consider the poster condition from attached pictures and text description, if you still need more information please feel free to require additional pictures or video, I will provide it for you with a big pleasure.
