Abstract:

Object The object of project A 10.2 is to determine the toxicities of standard and proposed chemical warfare agents. The object of the work described in this report was to determine the LC 50 of Cyanogen Chloride for rats exposed 2 min. and observed 15 days. Results The LC 50 of Cyanogen chloride has been determined. Conclusions The LC 50 of cyanogen chloride for rats exposed for two minutes and observed for fifteen days is 10.1 mgl LCtsub 50 20,200. Recommendations It is recommended that concentrations of CC be determined in field tests both by bioassay rat and by chemical analysis. It is believed that the rat would be useful particularly when the concentrations range between 6 and 15 mgl.
