DETECTION OF MUSTARD GAS (H), LEWISITE (L), ETHYLDICHLORARSINE (ED), AND PHENYLDICHLORARSINE (PD) WITH TRAINED DOGS OR RATS.
Dogs and rats may be trained to detect very low concentrations of mustard gas (0.1 gamma per liter of air) by shocking the animals with an induction coil when they touch meat which has been exposed to the gas. Animals trained in this way will refuse meat which is contaminated with the gas.
