No one knew that they would be needed by the time. The allies retook the trenches that were filled with chlorine gas. They found perhaps the most horrific scene in the world's most horrific war the allies reported five thousand killed and fifteen thousand wounded from the german gas cloud. This battle was of course. Just the beginning of.

"In the show notes. People like their stories to be black and white. There are heroes and villains good guys and bad. This is a truth that professional wrestling has understood for a very long time. I mentioned this because fritz harbor doesn't fit nicely into either category. If anything you can say he has. One foot firmly planted in each for taba was born in eighteen. Sixty eight in. What is today known as fort slavs poland but was inland as breslow in the kingdom of prussia. He was born into a wealthy jewish family. A fact that will become nowhere. The later his father siegfried was a successful merchant who ran a company that primarily manufactured dies his mother. Paula died three weeks after childbirth. When i was six years old his father remarried. A woman named hedwig hamburger which i mentioned only because she sounds like she's a mcdonald's character who should be the wife of mayor mccheese kubbar went off to college over the objections of his father. Who wanted him to work with the family die factory. There he studied chemistry did a year of mandatory service in the german army and then return to his studies after he graduated having done his thesis on reactions with the molecule purnell. He returned to breslau to work with his father. Whoever he and his father didn't get along very well and fritz decided to get a position in academia he got his initial job at the university of ghana and then later at the university of karlsruhe in eighteen ninety four it was at the university of karlsruhe where he began research into electro chemistry and eventually the work which i made him world renowned. But i i have to explain the problem that the world was facing. The world's population was growing rapidly in the early twentieth century. The increasing need for food put greater demands on agriculture. The growth of agriculture was highly dependent upon fertilizer which put nitrogen into the soil. The demand for fertilizer was increasing but the supply was decreasing. Most fertilizer at the time was mined from guano. Deposits and guano is a very finite resource. The majority of it was exported from south america. Many people recognize the problem that was facing the world if the guano ran out there wouldn't be any fertilizer without fertilizer. It would severely hinder the ability to grow crops. Historically farmers had several techniques for putting nitrogen into the soil crop rotation with legumes animal fertilizer. We're two of the most common ways. But those techniques can't scale up for mechanized agriculture. Without solving the nitrogen problem the world would be looking at severe famines nitrogen. Itself isn't rare. It's all around us. Seventy eight percent of the earth's atmosphere is nitrogen. The problem was getting atmospheric nitrogen into a form that could be used as fertilizer harbors first big innovation was figuring out how to fix atmospheric nitrogen known as the harbor process or the haber bosch process it uses nitrogen from the air and methane under very high pressures to create ammonia harbor. I demonstrated this process in one thousand nine hundred nine in a laboratory experiment where a few drops of ammonia were produced by nineteen thirteen. The technique had been industrialized by carl. Bosch and they were producing tons.

Chlorine gas released at Second Battle of Ypres - April 22, 1915
"The Day was April. Twenty Second Nineteen fifteen. The Germans released chlorine gas during the second battle of Abra marking the first effective use of poison. Gas On the western front chemical weapons have been used for hundreds of years at the end of the nineteenth century and into the twentieth treaties and declarations began acknowledging the issue of poison gases by forbidding the use of poisons in Warfare The Hague conventions of eighteen ninety nine and one thousand nine hundred seven for instance forbade the use of poison and poisoned weapons. But this rule was violated in the first world. War World War. One is sometimes referred to as the chemists war because of the role chemicals and technology played in the conflict chlorine phosgene and mustard gas all caused many deaths and injuries during the war the production and deployment of these gases posed a health threat to combatants civilians and people involved in their manufacturing processes once the war began. Germany put a lot of effort into researching and producing these chemical agents. German chemist. Fritz Harbor helped develop Germany's poison gas program harbor headed the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physical Chemistry and Electro Chemistry he was also given an army captain and led the Chemistry Section at the Ministry of war and Berlin helping coordinate the production of ammonia needed in the war many people condemned harbor for his role in chemical warfare though he won the Nobel Prize in chemistry in nineteen eighteen for the synthesis of ammonia from its elements Swedish pharmacist. Carl Wilhelm Shula discovered chlorine back in the late seventeen hundreds as a gas. Chlorine is a greenish yellow color. And it is two and a half times heavier than air. Though chlorine is used in some household products and in drinking water it can be used as a poisonous gas chlorine gas stays close to the ground in areas without wind and spreads rapidly. It is very toxic to humans when a person breeds chlorine gas. It reacts with Moist Tissues like the eyes throat and lungs to form. Acid inhaling low levels can cause I scan an airway irritation as well as a sore throat and cough exposure to higher levels of chlorine gas can cause chest tightness wheezing shortness of breath and broncos spasm if a person is severely exposed could get Pulmonary Edema. A condition caused by excess fluid in the lungs. Chlorine gas is easy to produce and handle harbor turns to chlorine gas for use in chemical warfare. The French launched tear-gas attacks against the Germans early. In World War One and early in Nineteen fifteen the Germans fired thousands of shells filled with the irritant xylitol bromide at Russian troops blew off. In this case the weather was cold and the chemical could not vaporize to pose any threat to the Russians but on the evening of April Twenty. Second Nineteen fifteen during the second battle of. Abra the Germans released nearly two hundred tons of chlorine gas from cylinders buried along a friend. The gas attack created a several MILE GAP IN THE ALLIED LINE. Defending the city. Though it poison many of the soldiers and caused panic the Germans failed to take effective action in its aftermath in the allies held the bre position poison gas continued to be a part of warfare in world war. One technology and training continued to progress on both the offensive and defensive sides of gas warfare. The allies develop gas masks and the Germans introduced mustard gas in nineteen seventeen so more between ninety thousand and one hundred thousand people died due to chemical weapons in the war with most of those deaths caused by fos gene during after the first World War. Nations like the. Us Britain Italy Russia. Spain and Japan used chemical weapons in conflicts the Chemical Weapons Convention which took effect in Nineteen ninety-seven bans the development production stockpiling and use of chemical weapons though it has been violated.
