History Of Surfactant 

Prior to that, in the early 1950s, Richard Pattle in England, Charles Macklin in Canada  and John Clements at the US Army Chemical Center in Maryland, USA were studying the effects of nerve gases on the lungs. Each in their own way contributed greatly to understanding the importance of surfactant. It is remarkable that three men working on chemical warfare projects in three countries in the 1950s came to similar conclusions independently
