It is noted that chloropicrin is a toxic substance that can cause irritation of the mucous membranes when inhaled.

According to Aleksandrov, when inhaling this substance, a mustard smell often appears, which may not arouse suspicion. If there are many inhalations, then deterioration may occur.

He noted that chloropicrin is used in agriculture to eliminate insects and fungi. High concentrations of the substance make it poisonous.
