 Mustard gas in WWI

Origin
• Mustard gas was
developed by Fritz Haber, a
respected professor and
chemist at the University
of Karlsruhe.

•  Haber also played a part in

the fight against world
hunger, using the Haber
process, the industrial
wide scale of an ammonia-
based fertilizer, Which won
him the Nobel peace
prize. Ironically, this
process is also the reason
for one of the
deadliest gases used in
wartime, mustard gas. 
Mustard Gas and its effects

•Mustard gas is a chemical weapon that causes

severe skin irritation, causing redness and
itchiness that eventually leads to yellow pus-
filled blisters. Mustard gas strips away the
human body's various mucous membranes
from the eyes, nose, respiratory and digestive
tract. Victims are known to experience eye
irritation, temporary blindness, cough,
shortness of breath, runny nose, sinus pain,
diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and fever.
However, usually most survive the gas' terrible
effects after and are left with only permanent
scars from chemical burns.

Mud • During a war, you never would expect for
mud to be a danger on the battlefield. On

Deaths
many battlefields, there would often be an
indescribable amount of mud. This excess
mud would often cause the battles to
become not only much more difficult to

of WW1
fight but deathtraps.
• In many battles, thick mud would
cause soldiers to become stuck
and drown, often within holes
created by artillery shells. 
• There were many insistances of
soldiers moving across the
battlefield, falling into a hole and
simply disappering into the mud.
