[The history of toxicology of the "Haber's Constant"].
The "Haber's Constant", the product of concentration (in ppm) and time (in minutes) to cause death, was mainly used in connection with the development of chemical warfare agents during World War I. But up to now the Haber's Constant is important to compare toxic gases tested on many different species of animals in research and development as well as in hygiene practice. The very first experiments in this field were done long before Haber's work in 1900 by Ernest Warren (London).
