Full dismantling of the yperite facility was commenced in 1994.

The name Yperite comes from its usage by the German army near the town of Ypres.

Yellow Cross (Gelbkreuz) is a World War I chemical warfare agent usually based on sulfur mustard (HS, Yperite, Lost).

The distinctive features may be less apparent in milder cases, particularly to doctors who are not experienced with mustard gas, which was first used in a war in 1917 near Ypres, Belgium, and hence sometimes called yperite.

Phosgene, responsible for permanently crippling so many World War I soldiers, is described as having a smell reminiscent of hay; while dichlorodiethyl sulfide or Yperite (named after the Belgian city Ypres, where it was first used) is said to smell like mustard.

Benito Mussolini: In 1936, during the Second Italo-Ethiopian War, Mussolini ordered the manufacturing/purchase of hundreds of tons of yperite, Pphosgene and fire munitions in the form of aerial bombs and artillery and mortar shells.
