Clark agents. ... these super agents are ... named after the German term "ChLorierte" [chlorinated] "ARsen" [arsenic] "Kampfstoffe" [chemical agents]. As the name suggests, they contain chlorine and arsenic. Clark I is diphenylchloroarsine and Clark II is diphenylcyanoarsine. They are powerful vomiting agents which could penetrate the early designs of gas mask and force the soldiers to remove them, exposing them to the more dangerous agents such as chlorine gas.  10, record 1, English, - chlorodiphenylarsane

Parallèlement à l'utilisation de l'ypérite, les Allemands introduisent sur le champ de bataille [...] les premières arsines chargées dans des obus à croix bleue. Il s'agissait de diphénylchloroarsine, un produit solide qui nécessitait une charge explosive suffisante pour assurer la mise en aérosol du produit. Celui-ci était contenu dans une bouteille en verre noyée au milieu de l'explosif dans le corps de l'obus. Le produit, pulvérisé par l'explosion de la charge, se transformant momentanément en vapeur grâce à la chaleur dégagée, était susceptible de traverser les filtres des masques protecteurs. Ses effets incapacitants et sternutatoires devaient alors rendre intolérable le port du masque.  8, record 1, French, - chlorodiph%C3%A9nylarsane
