What, then, of the epidemiology that the WHO in 1992 was boldly to describe as "comprehensive and exacting epidemiological studies, subjected to critical independent assessment"? Muro's work was first-hand. [theguardian.com]

Epidemiology According to OSHA, millions of kilograms of phosgene are produced annually, with 10,000 workers at risk of exposure. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Because phosgene is poorly soluble in water, it reacts minimally with oropharyngeal and conducting airway tissues and as a result can penetrate deeply into the lung, where it exerts its effects at the alveolar-capillary membrane (see Pathophysiology). [emedicine.medscape.com]
