“…Hence, it can be worn for short period of time, and limits its applicability. The technological advancement has been taken place and many improvements 6,7 have been pursued after World War-I, particularly focus was directed towards the development of NBC suit by emphasising on what the use of the technology is for and who is going to use it 8 .…”

Technological advancements in the field of chemical threat have made it possible to create extremely dangerous chemical warfare agents (CWA). Hence, the effective protection of personnel is very important in a chemical warfare scenario amidst the current climate of terrorism awareness. In particular, body protection plays a substantial role in the chemical defence considering the urgency of situation in the nuclear, biological and chemical environment. Activated carbon spheres (ACS) based permeable chemical protective clothing (coverall) was developed for protection against CWA. The adsorbent material i.e, ACS used in this protective clothing provided higher adsorption capacity (1029 mg/g in terms of iodine) and low thermal burden (34 °C WBGT index) compared to earlier indigenously developed NBC suit. This article focuses on the extensive evaluation of chemical protective clothing against sulfur mustard (HD), a CWA. The results revealed that the developed protective clothing provided more than 24 h protection against HD. This chemical protective suit is light weight (< 2.75 kg for XL size). It also has higher air permeability (> 30 cm 3 /s/cm 2 ) as well as less water vapour resistance (< 9.6 m 2 Pa/W). With continued innovations in materials and attention to key challenges it is expected that advanced, multifunction chemical protective suit will play a pivotal role in the CWA protection scenario.

We tend to associate the sciences with seeing-but scientists, engineers, and physicians also use their ears as a means for acquiring knowledge. This chapter introduces this essay's key questions about the role of sound and practices of listening in the sciences, and explicates their relevance for understanding the dynamics of science more generally. It defines the notion of sonic skills, situating it in the wider literature on the auditory dimensions of making knowledge. It presents the case studies on which the essay draws, explaining their geographical, temporal, and methodological scope and the researchers behind them. Keywords Listening for knowledge • Sonic skills • Science • Medicine • Engineering Acoustic signAtures On the afternoon of July 11, 2014, Dutch Public Radio 1 broadcast an interview with science journalist Diederik Jekel. He had breaking news: American geologists had discovered a "super ocean" some 300 miles below the earth's surface. The journalist immediately added a qualification. What the Americans had actually found were some stone minerals, originating from the earth's deep layers, that included water molecules. This prompted the talk show host to ask how certain scientists could be of the super ocean's existence. The journalist explained that the CHAPTER 1
