Hemstroem, P. published the artcileIdentification and toxicological evaluation of cyclic sulfonium ion degradation products of sulphur mustard, Recommanded Product: 1,2-Bis(2-chloroethyl)disulfane, the publication is Marine Environmental Research (2020), 105047, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
In the aftermath of WWII large amount seized German chem. munitions were dumped in the Baltic Sea by Allied forces. In this work, we have compared the chem. content of the solidified blocks of dumped WWII mustard gas collected from the Baltic Sea with solid precipitate from stored mustard gas, known as heel. We have identified the same cyclic sulfonium ions in both samples. In assessing the environmental and toxicol. impact of dumped sulfur mustard munitions on the worlds oceans the potential risk posed by cyclic sulfur mustard salts have so far not been incorporated. The toxicity of 1-(2-chloroethyl)-1,4-dithiane and its hydrolysis product 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)- 1,4-dithiane was evaluated using three different cell lines. Their effect on released pro-inflammatory cytokines was also measured. The toxicity tests showed low toxicity and low pro-inflammatory response and we therefore conclude that the environmental threat posed by these compounds is low.
