Effects of Gunpowder in Navy Fire
Dr. M I Simons notes two powder types used on ships dull brown and smokeless. Brown powder leaves unburned grains and fine dust irritating mucous membranes. Smokeless powder creates hazy air and carbonic oxide gas forms. after discharge decks haze, mild irritation, and gradual recovery with washing. After Santiago battles nasal and eye inflammations occurred but resolved with inhalation therapy. Two tympanic membrane ruptures caused tinnitus without pain. deafness attributed to eustachian tube closure from heavy discharge. Soldiers reported sharp blows from firing, with muscular soreness. most cases recovered with simple treatment.
