Article Synopsis
- Large quantities of toxic chemical warfare materials, specifically sulphur mustard (HD) and arsenic-containing agents, were dumped in the Baltic Sea after WWII, with little known about their reactivity.
- This study identified 22 new complexes formed between HD and arsenic agents using advanced analytical techniques, some of which were also found in environmental samples from CWA dumping sites.
- The presence of these complexes raises concerns about their potential toxicity, highlighting the need for further research on their effects on marine life and human health, while also providing new insights into the reactivity of chemical warfare agents.
