What made munitions workers in WW1 skin turn yellow?
Wednesday, December 8th, 2010Edward H asked:
Women (and occasionally men) in WW1 stuffed TNT into shells in munitions factories, as a result their skin turned yellow and sometimes their hair turned green. Because of their skin colour they were called ‘canaries’. What is it in the TNT that did this? And how long would it have lasted?
