This compound is extremely hazardous because of its lack of warning properties and delayed biological effects. It may cause burns of the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Eye damage may be permanent. Effects may be delayed occurring hours after exposure. Skin permeation may occur in toxic amounts. Both the fumes and the liquid may produce severe irritation. Inhalation may cause irritation of the nose, throat and lungs. Death may occur from overexposure. Prolonged exposures may cause liver and kidney effects. DuPont controls this compound as a potential carcinogen.Also note the barrel indicating it is some sort of chlorine. Chlorine Gas was also a chemical weapon used in World War I. Crates, barrels and boxes of other stuff as well. I believe the Kurds and the Iranians were familiar with some of this stuff.
Dimethyl sulfate vapor and liquid is extremely hazardous because of its deficient warning properties (NO ODOR THRESHOLD, LOOKS LIKE WATER, AND HAS ANALGESIC EFFECTS) and delayed biological effects. DMS hydrolyzes to methyl hydrogen sulfate and eventually sulfuric acid and methanol. Skin or eye contact with low concentrations of Dimethyl Sulfate may cause analgesia (numbness). Therefore, the corrosive action of Dimethyl Sulfate may not be readily detected.
Skin contact with Dimethyl Sulfate may cause skin burns or ulceration. Inital effects include itching, reddening of the skin followed hours later by severe blistering. Evidence suggests that skin permeation can occur in amounts capable of producing the effects of systemic toxicity. Eye contact with Dimethyl Sulfate may cause eye corrosion with corneal or conjunctival ulceration. Permanent eye damage may occur. Both the vapors and the liquid can cause severe irritation; upon slight vapor exposure the whites of the eyes turn red (bloodshot).
Ingestion of Dimethyl Sulfate may cause severe irritation of the mucous membranes of the mouth, throat and gastrointestinal tract.
Inhalation of Dimethyl Sulfate may cause irritation of the upper respiratory passages, angioneurotic edema of larynx with hoarseness, difficulty in swallowing; temporary lung irritation effects with productive cough, discomfort, difficulty breathing, chest pain, shortness of breath or cyanosis; or possibly modest initial symptoms, followed in hours by severe shortness of breath, requiring prompt medical attention. In severe poisonings, central nervous system effects may occur which include unconsciousness, cramps or convulsions, and paralysis. Fatality may result from gross overexposure.
Maybe you should read before you post.
Somtimes you newbies don't bother moving your foot before pulling the trigger.
ping!
BTTT!
please please PLEASE hook me up with links to articles concerning the yellowcake - I have a pack of naysayers writhing in the grip of my logic on another site, and NEED a coup de grace.
If you have a link to something else I would like - the prohibited missiles discovered by polish troops with bill of lading marks indicating origin in France in 2002 - that would also be SWEET
Thanks in advance!
Jeff Head is legit.
First Google hit...
Second Google hit...
thanks for both hits.
slaughering of sacred cows and the sheep who love them shall now commence
I met a young lady who served in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. She is only 21 years old but she shakes as though she has Parkinson's disease. She has only 79% lung capacity, she has been told by military doctors that she has signs that she suffered a heart attack and she has multiple ulcers in her esophagus and stomach. She had to be discharged from the Army due to these medical problems. She states the doctors believe she was exposed to Sarin nerve gas. Now I ask those who deny the WMD to tell this young lady that they did not exist in Iraq. She may not live to see her 30th birthday.

The "anyone" referenced being anyone who has been a member of FreeRepublic more than a week or so. I second the endorsement without reservation. Jeff is, and has always been "the real deal"...

You are referring to the discovery of ROLAND surface-to-air missiles with the "2003" markings on the launch tubes. These were nothing to do with the manufacturer, but added by the Iraq's. The missiles contained within all had old Aerospatiale manufacturer plates from 1984 and 1987. The Polish armed forces snipped off the manufacturer tags before destroying the missiles in a controlled explosion. None of the Rolands found by either the US or any other Coalition force were found to be other than those supplied to Iraq during the 1980s. Iraq was allowed to have SAMs and ballistic missiles that were to a set range.
You have provided King Prout a link to Al Fatah and Al Samoud 2 ballistic missiles. These are Iraqi developed weapons. King Prout was asking for the short range Rolands air-defense weapons destroyed by Polish EOD teams.
thanks for that clarification
true, but - still useful for my purposes.
Interesting find on Iraq and WMDs. like the Sarin gas IED and the Polish find of chemical shells, this would be another 'nothing to see here' by the MSM.
