Description and Uses

Nitrogen mustard (HN) was developed in three formulations: HN-1, HN-2, and HN-3. HN-1 was the first to be produced in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Originally, it was developed as a pharmaceutical and used to remove warts before it became a military agent. Agent H-2 was developed as a military agent and became a pharmaceutical. HN-3 was designed as a military mustard agent and is the only one that remains in military use. Therefore, this section will only cover the characteristics of HN-3 mustard agent. HN-3 is colorless to pale yellow with a butter-almond odor. The chemical formula for nitrogen mustard agent HN-3 is N(CH2CH2Cl)3. It will otherwise be ineffective against stopping the damage to the body.
