Toxic Exposures: Mustard Gas and the Health Consequences of World War II in the United States

| Zusammenfassung: | Mustard gas is typically associated with the horrors of World War I battlefields and trenches, where chemical weapons were responsible for tens of thousands of deaths. Few realize, however, that mustard gas had a resurgence during the Second World War, when its uses and effects were widespread and insidious. Toxic Exposures tells the shocking story of how the United States and its allies intentionally subjected thousands of their own servicemen to poison gas as part of their preparation for chemical warfare. In addition, it reveals the racialized dimension of these mustard gas experiments, as scientists tested whether the effects of toxic exposure might vary between Asian, Hispanic, black, and white Americans. Drawing from once-classified American and Canadian government records, military reports, scientists’ papers, and veterans’ testimony, historian Susan L. Smith explores not only the human cost of this research, but also the environmental degradation caused by ocean dumping of unwanted mustard gas. As she assesses the poisonous legacy of these chemical warfare experiments, Smith also considers their surprising impact on the origins of chemotherapy as cancer treatment and the development of veterans’ rights movements. Toxic Exposures thus traces the scars left when the interests of national security and scientific curiosity battled with medical ethics and human rights |

Smith New Brunswick, NJ Rutgers University Press [2017] © 2019 1 online resource txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Critical Issues in Health and Medicine Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 04. Sep 2019) Mustard gas is typically associated with the horrors of World War I battlefields and trenches, where chemical weapons were responsible for tens of thousands of deaths. Few realize, however, that mustard gas had a resurgence during the Second World War, when its uses and effects were widespread and insidious. Toxic Exposures tells the shocking story of how the United States and its allies intentionally subjected thousands of their own servicemen to poison gas as part of their preparation for chemical warfare. In addition, it reveals the racialized dimension of these mustard gas experiments, as scientists tested whether the effects of toxic exposure might vary between Asian, Hispanic, black, and white Americans. Drawing from once-classified American and Canadian government records, military reports, scientists’ papers, and veterans’ testimony, historian Susan L. Smith explores not only the human cost of this research, but also the environmental degradation caused by ocean dumping of unwanted mustard gas. As she assesses the poisonous legacy of these chemical warfare experiments, Smith also considers their surprising impact on the origins of chemotherapy as cancer treatment and the development of veterans’ rights movements. Toxic Exposures thus traces the scars left when the interests of national security and scientific curiosity battled with medical ethics and human rights In English Geschichte 1941-1945 gnd rswk-swf HISTORY / General bisacsh Chemical weapons United States Testing Gases, Asphyxiating and poisonous Mustard gas Toxicology Toxikologie (DE-588)4060538-3 gnd rswk-swf Einsatz (DE-588)4296704-1 gnd rswk-swf Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 gnd rswk-swf Chemische Waffe (DE-588)4009865-5 gnd rswk-swf Test (DE-588)4059549-3 gnd rswk-swf Menschenversuch (DE-588)4038649-1 gnd rswk-swf Gesundheitsgefährdung (DE-588)4071808-6 gnd rswk-swf Lost (DE-588)4168174-5 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Lost (DE-588)4168174-5 s Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 s Einsatz (DE-588)4296704-1 s Gesundheitsgefährdung (DE-588)4071808-6 s Geschichte 1941-1945 z 1\p DE-604 Chemische Waffe (DE-588)4009865-5 s Test (DE-588)4059549-3 s Toxikologie (DE-588)4060538-3 s Menschenversuch (DE-588)4038649-1 s 2\p DE-604 https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780813586120 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
