A 'Follow up' of Volunteers Exposed to GB (SARIN)

Abstract

An investigation was made into the medical history of a group of 35 volunteer observers who had previously been exposed to a concentration time of 15 min.mg /cu m of sarin (GB). The findings were compared with those from a similar number of men who attended CDE during the same period but were not so exposed. No significant differences were found between the number of hospital admissions, of out-patient specialist appointments, of incidents of reporting sick or of days lost through illness before or after the men's service at CDE. No significant differences in these indices were found between the records of the group exposed to nerve agent and those of the individuals not exposed. The diagnoses relating to instances of illness are listed and discussed, but no significant difference was found between groups.
