Environmental Trauma: CBRN Incidents

Deciphering the electrochemical sensing capability of novel Ga12As12 nanocluster towards chemical warfare phosgene gas: insights from DFT

“…It can cause irritation in the mucosal membrane and lung damage when its concentration is below 3 ppm, but at high concentration above 150 ppm, it can cause latent non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, and it is also life-threatening. 4,5 In the recent 20 years, aer the discovery of carbon-based nanoparticles and nanoclusters, several efforts have been made to discover other nanoparticles that include metallic nanoparticles, ceramic-type nanoparticles, and semiconductor nanoparticles. 6 These nanoparticles have gained more attention from researchers to detect, absorb, and destroy more toxic chemicals and warfare agents because of their unique properties.…”
