This effect in part explains the observation that a dust-free vapour does not form droplets at a temperature below the normal temperature of condensation (the dew point). The Kelvin effect must be taken into account when considering the stability of small liquid aerosol droplets in the airways. Table 6 shows the time taken (in seconds) for water droplets of different sizes to evaporate completely (Florey, 1962). If, on the other hand, a droplet of a watery solution which exerts a SVP less than that of pure water is exposed to air saturated with water vapour, it will grow in size.
Vedder EB (1925). The Medical Aspects of Chemical Warfare. Baltimore: Williams and Wilkins Co. ANNEX Terrorism: the possible use of chemicals In the period since the preceding chapter was originally written, the threat of large-scale chemical warfare seems to have receded. Countries are destroying stockpiles of chemical weapons and even in those countries known at one time to have a capacity and perhaps willingness to wage chemical warfare, for example, Iraq, destruction of these weapons appears to have been completed.
It is certainly unlikely that terrorist groups will feel bound by international conventions regarding the use of chemicals in warfare. This sombre conclusion leads at once to the need to prepare to deal with the consequences of attacks with chemicals on civilian populations. Prevention for such attacks is clearly a priority and many countries are now actively engaged with this task. As in the case of attacks using conventional weapons, it is sensible to accept that a guarantee of complete prevention is difficult to achieve and thus preparations to deal with the consequences of such an attack are necessary.
