Bareak, chemical weapons technology

  • During the First World War, all weapons, including chemicals, developed dramatically: tear gas, mustard, phosphate... The only refuge against them were gas masks, but since it was not possible to wear them all the time, the US Army decided that a "device was necessary to detect in time toxic gases and chemical agents".

Then, Malachologist Paul Bartsch (1671-1960) studied the spleen and discovered that harmful gases were captured long before humans. This would provide soldiers with more room for their masks. Thus, in 1918, in the last five months of the First World War, U.S. troops brought to the battlefield a new anti-gas “device”: a cardboard box with spleen and wet sponge inside.
