Flickr links: Mustard Gas | Phosgene
Yes, Minnesotastan has posted about the Otis Historical Archives of the National Museum of Health and Medicine's photo collection on Flickr before on Neatorama, but I found these posters telling the public how to distinguish various poison gases through their distinct smells to be utterly fascinating!
I mean, whodathunk that mustard gas would smell like garlic? (Shouldn't they just call it garlic gas?). Or that phosgene can result in "increased dopey feeling"? Link
...Ad looking at the recent job Ali Chemicaly did with the Kurd's, one really does NOT want to know......

Increased dopey feeling - as compared to the usual level of dopey feeling which is considered normal?

Sadly, a DuPont worker at the Belle, WV plant died yesterday from exposure to phosgene. I had never heard of the stuff before today, and then I see this poster. Coincidence???? (Yes.)
