A Digest of Reports Concerning the Toxic Effect of Phosgene on Man and the Laboratory Animals

Abstract

The object of this work is the compilation of all the available data on the action of phosgene on man and the laboratory animals. This includes data obtained in the laboratory and in the field. The information herein contained has been obtained from American, British and French reports. The British and French reports were not all available; as a consequence only a part of the British and French work is here presented. The first part of this report deals with laboratory tests while the second part is a compilation of the various field tests conducted by the Americans and British on phosgene and mixtures. Phosgene has been designated as CG, G-52, D-Stoff, carbonyl chloride, carbon oxychloride, collongite, MD-8, L-3. A glossary of pathological terms, together with a discussion of methods of obtaining concentrations and other toxicological methods referred to in this report is given in E.A.C.D. 105.
