Abstract
Sulfur mustard (SM), a classic chemical weapon in the vesicant category, can induce severe damage, for which the therapy is still
limited even today. Laboratory work is essential in unveiling toxicological effects and developing medical countermeasures. Sulfur
mustard analog 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES), is employed in the lab for less toxicity. However, due to its similar characteristics
to SM (being oily, hydrophobic, and volatile), the manipulation of CEES still needs special attention to avoid personnel injury
and laboratory pollution. Here, to clear the chemical safety concerns in the laboratory study of CEES, the working procedure and
experimental data are summarized, which might help educate new researchers to be skilled and professional.
