I have no idea if your design is intentional or not
concerning "canaries", but here's some info from the wikipedia page on TNT : "TNT is quite toxic. It can also be absorbed through the skin, and will cause irritation and bright yellow staining. During the First World War, munition workers who handled the chemical found that their skin turned bright yellow, which led to the nickname "canary girls" or simply "canaries" to describe such workers. TNT would also eventually make ginger hair turn green. A 1916 British Government inquiry on female workers at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich found that 37% had severe pains due to loss of appetite, nausea and constipation, 25% suffered from dermatitis, and 34% experienced changes in menstruation. Before respirators and protective grease applied to the skin were introduced, about 100 workers died from the disease." P.S. -- TNT is not dynamite "TNT does not react with metals or absorb water, and so, unlike dynamite, it can be safely stored for many years without losing its explosive power." |
