All the ten were affected by mustard gas abandoned by Japanese troops during Japanese aggression against China (1937-1945).

The victims' symptoms may recur, but they have already made an agreement with the Qiqihar City Government and the hospital, whichensures that they will be provided with treatment in the future asneeded, said Sun Jinghai, the director of the hospital.
