Description
English: Plate X from An Atlas of Gas Poisoning by the American Red Cross and Medical Research Committee (American Red Cross, 1918).

Plate title: "Microscopic section of human lung from mustard gas poisoning, with death at end of second day (40 hours)." Text begins: "The bronchiole is filled with fibrin and pus cells, and its lining epithelium has been completely destroyed. The inflammation has caused a characteristic ring of haemorrhage in the tissues around the bronchial tube, and infection is beginning to appear in the alveoli nearest to these inflamed tissues. But there is no generalised pulmonary oedema and no disruptive emphysema. ... "

The American Red Cross published this guide for the American Expeditionary Force in World War I, sometimes called the "chemists’ war." The chromolithograph plates of characteristic injuries were intended to help inexperienced officers identify the type of gas used in attacks.
