On April 18, 2017, the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued a new report on improving the response to toxic inhalation disasters. The report emerged from a 2013 workshop sponsored by the two organisations. The intervening years have vividly shown the urgency of the issue. The Assad regime has allegedly used the nerve agent sarin to kill hundreds of Syrians, most recently in an attack in April, 2017, on Khan Shaykhun, in the opposition-controlled Idlib Governorate.

改善对有毒吸入灾害的应对

2017年4月18日，美国胸科学会（ATS）和美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）发布了有关改善对有毒吸入灾难的响应的新报告。该报告来自两个组织主办的2013年研讨会。这几年间生动地表明了这一问题的紧迫性。据称，阿萨德政权利用神经毒剂沙林杀害了数百名叙利亚人，最近一次是在2017年4月对反对派控制的伊德利卜省的汗·谢坤的一次袭击中。
