New technology to dispose of mustard gas developed at Brno's Masaryk University

Scientists at Masaryk University in Brno have come up with a new method of disposal of yperite, or mustard gas. The poison gas, first used by the German Army during WWI, can be liquidated by special enzymes that disintegrate its structure. The university has already registered the method in the Czech Republic. The new technology can be used for better protection against the gas as well as for disposal of excessive mustard gas stocks.
