Abstract:  New, very sensitive detector tubes were developed to visualize yperite vapour in atmosphere. Tubes were tilled with 4-(4/-nitrobenzyl)pyridine complexes with mercury(II), nickel(II) and magnesium salts over purified, activated silica gel as carrier. A very high detection sensitivity has been achieved (0.5—1 μg yperite in 1 liter air). The contents of tubes being quite stable. Of detection reagents a saturated solution of sodium Perchlorate in 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide was found to be the most convenient.
