Abstract
The review centers round the discovery during World War II of the pronounced antidotal properties of a dithiol, 2,3-dimercaptopropanol (British Anti-Lewisite, or BAL), against poisoning by a variety of As-containing compounds, and, later, the extension of this work to poisoning by other metal compounds.Keywords
