Description

 The invention relates to medical equipment and relates to methods and devices for the processing, storage, transportation and burial of corpses of deceased people or parts thereof.

 The ever-increasing cost of funeral services, the complexity and complexity of technological processes that provide a relatively long and aesthetically possible preservation of the bodies of deceased people (embalming, freezing, etc.), as well as an ever-increasing need to preserve bodies during long-term transportation and delivery of bodies of deceased or deceased later people and military personnel as a result of the resolution of military conflicts, technological or natural disasters, etc. require the creation of effective, low-cost and relatively simple in the execution of methods and devices for the processing, storage, transportation and burial of corpses of deceased people or parts thereof.

 A known method and device for storing corpses of people in containers with a gravitational fluid collection system in the pathological and anatomical departments of hospitals, morgues and the bureau of forensic medical examinations by exposure to a physical factor, namely chilled air, which ensures optimal heat and humidity conditions for its storage during body cooling , as well as rotor-film deodorization and sterilization of exhaust chilled air (1).

 However, this method of storing the body cannot provide the longest possible aesthetic preservation of the cooled body for a long time and when transporting it over long distances at elevated temperature and humidity of the ambient air during the implementation of ritual activities, tying them to a bulky, energy-intensive, and difficult to operate hardware complex, implements the specified method of storing the body. In addition, this method of storing the body is almost impossible to use at home, in the conditions of industrial and natural disasters, as well as in the centers of military conflicts, field conditions, etc.

 The closest in technical essence and the achieved result are the method and device for storing the body by placing it in a body container in the form of a polymer sealed cover, consisting of a lower carrier and an upper body covering part and equipped with a sliding lock for opening and closing the case (2).

 Also known is a method and device for storing the body by placing it in a body container in the form of a sealed casing, equipped with a valve that allows gases released during the decomposition of the body to pass through the wall of the casing (3).

 However, this method and device is intended for short-term storage of the body when it is removed, usually in a refrigerated state from the pathological and anatomical department of a hospital, morgue or forensic medical examination office and does not provide long-term and aesthetically possible body preservation, especially during long-distance transportation , in conditions of elevated temperature and humidity of the ambient air during the implementation of ritual activities. The latter is especially important when maintaining the body in the process of performing ritual procedures in everyday life and in conditions of small volumes due to the intensive release of tissue fluids during heating of the body and the release of gases polluting the air during decomposition of the body.

 The technical result from the use of the invention in part of the method is to increase the storage time of the body while ensuring its aesthetic safety, and in the part of the device to reduce the amount of tissue fluids and gases released into the environment when the body is decomposed, to increase the aesthetics of ritual events.

 This is achieved by the fact that, according to the method of storing the body, which involves exposing the container to the body with a physical factor while deodorizing the air and gases generated by the decomposition of the body, it is treated and sanitized before the body is placed in an airtight container, and after the body is placed in the container, the container’s internal environment filled with a sterilizing and deodorizing gas component, for example, an ozone-containing gas mixture, while performing a short or continuous treatment of the body in a closed the container’s space by simultaneously discharging the excess gas component (waste stream of the ozone-containing gas mixture and gases from the decomposing body) from the container, followed by its further deodorization and decomposition of residual ozone in the catalytic deactivator.

 This is also achieved due to the fact that the device for storing the body, containing a sealed container of polymer material having a lower supporting and upper body covering parts, the last of which contains a device in the form of a sliding lock for closing and opening the container, is additionally equipped with an ozone-containing gas mixture generator connected to the sealed container through the inlet pipe, shut-off valve and check valve, as well as a catalytic deactivator connected to the sealed container without a discharge pipe, a check valve and a shut-off valve, while the bottom of the lower part of the sealed container can be clad with a sanitary towel made of absorbent material having a permeable to tissue fluid coating on its outer surface.

 The method of storing the body is based on the one hand on the normalization of the condition and composition of the air in the pathological and anatomical departments of hospitals, morgues, forensic medical examinations, in domestic conditions at home, in rooms for official rituals, etc., as well as in the sealed container itself for storing the body due to the high deodorizing and sterilizing properties of ozone in relation to most of the main air pollutants released during the decomposition of the body: ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, organic compounds (sulfur-containing things substances, mercaptans, methane, indole, skatol and their derivatives, etc.), etc. (4), and on the other hand, due to the high absorption capacity of tissue and other liquids released during the decomposition of the body by absorbent material placed in an airtight container for storing the body, due to its high absorbent properties with respect to liquids.

figure 2 is a section aa of the device for storing the body of figure 1;

figure 4 is a section bb of the unidirectional check valve in figure 1;

In specific embodiments of the application of the method of storing the body and device for its implementation, depending on:
- body storage conditions (pathological and anatomical department of the hospital, morgue, forensic medical examination bureau, living conditions at home, rooms for official rituals, temporary rooms in areas of military conflicts, natural or technological disasters, etc.);
- the type of transportation of the body (transportation of the body: by road, rail, water or air transport, etc.);
- time of transportation of the body (long or short);
- conditions for using ozone (oxygen or air) as the working gas supplied to the generator - the internal environment of the container of the body storage device is filled with a sterilizing and deodorizing ozone-containing gas component in the form of an ozone-oxygen or ozone-air mixture.

 A device for implementing the method of storing the body contains the following main elements (Fig.1,2): a sealed container 1 made of polymer material, a small-sized generator of an ozone-containing gas mixture (ozone generator 2), a nozzle for supplying an ozone-containing gas mixture 3 (inlet pipe 3), a unidirectional passage valve 4, a branch pipe for discharging the spent ozone-containing gas mixture and gases from the decomposing body 5 (outlet pipe 5), a catalytic deactivator of the residual ozone-containing gas mixture and residual gases from the decomposition a lambing body 6 (catalytic deactivator 6), a shut-off valve 7, a sanitary towel 8 from an absorbent fabric fluid material.

The tight container 1 (Fig. 1,2) of the body storage device is made of a polymeric material, for example, polyethylene, and has elastically deformable lower 1.1 supporting and upper 1.2 covering body 9 parts, the last of which contains a device in the form of a sliding lock 10 for closing and container opening 1. A sealed container 1 in its lower 1.1 supporting part is connected through an inlet flange 1.3, a unidirectional check valve 4 and a supply pipe 3 with an ozone generator 2, which generates an ozone-containing gas mixture in the form of an ozone-air or ozone-oxygen mixture and feeding it into a sealed container 1. On its opposite side, the lower 1.1 supporting part of the sealed container 1 contains an outlet flange 1.4 connected through a discharge pipe 5, a unidirectional check valve 4 and a shut-off valve 7 with a catalytic a deactivator, providing additional decontamination and destruction of the residual ozone-containing gas mixture and residual gases from the decomposing body. The ozone generator 2 is equipped with a microcompressor (not shown) for pumping the working gas (air) from the environment through a system of discharge electrodes with the generation of an ozone-air gas mixture at the outlet. When using oxygen as a working gas and having, for example, a balloon or other oxygen supply system (not shown), the microprocessor is turned off, and oxygen is supplied directly to the discharge electrodes through a reduction gear to produce an ozone-oxygen mixture at the outlet. The inlet pipe 3 and the outlet pipe 5 are made of a polymeric material, for example, polyvinyl chloride, and are respectively designed for supplying the ozone-containing gas mixture from the ozone generator 2 to the sealed container 1 and for removing the spent ozone-containing gas mixture and residual gases from the decomposing body. Unidirectional check valve 4 (Fig. 4) is made of polyethylene and is designed for one-way passage of an ozone-containing gas kit from an ozone generator 2 into a sealed container 1 (in one case) or a passage (in another case) discharged from a sealed container 1 of spent ozone-containing gas mixture and residual gases from the decomposing body to the catalytic deactivator, in both cases, eliminating spontaneous intake of air from the environment or spontaneous exit from an airtight container 1, the ozone-containing gas mixture therein and residual gases from the decomposing body. The shut-off valve 7 is a two-way valve ("open" - "closed"), made of polyethylene and is designed to reliably shut off (the "closed" position) gas flows both into the cavity of the sealed container 1 and from it after intermittent treatment of the body with an ozone-containing gas a mixture characterized by filling the internal environment of the container 1 with a sterilizing and deodorizing ozone-containing gas component in the form of an ozone-oxygen mixture and a long storage time of the body in this state, determined by the absence of proper storage and execution of ritual procedures, a large distance during transportation of the body, the lack of a power source for saving the body, etc. When the body is continuously treated with an ozone-containing gas mixture, characterized by a continuous process of aeration of the internal environment of the sealed container 1 with a sterilizing and deodorizing ozone-containing gas component in the form of an ozone-air mixture or ozone-oxygen mixture during the entire cycle of processing, transportation, storage and ritual process, shut-off valves 7 of the device for storing the body are in the "open" position. The catalytic deactivator 6 (Fig. 3) is made of a polymeric material, for example polyethylene, and is intended for additional decontamination and destruction of the residual ozone-containing gas mixture and residual gases from the decaying body. It contains a hollow supporting body 6.1 with an inlet pipe and a disk filter 6.2 mounted in its conical bottom part, for example, of a corrosion-resistant highly porous permeable cellular material VPYAM-MN (TU 1733-00110384-7211-97 "Highly porous copper-based cellular material nickel alloy brand VPYAM-MN ") and a screw cap 6.3 with an outlet pipe, in the conical bottom part of which a disk filter 6.4, similar to the above, is also fixed. The space between the disk filters 6.2, 6.4 is filled with catalyst 6.5 with a dispersion of not more than 1 mm in diameter based on aluminosilicates:
M _{k / n} (AlO) _2k (SiO ₂ ) _l • mH ₂ O, (m, k, l, n are integers),
where M is an ion of an alkaline or alkaline earth metal.

For greater efficiency of decomposition of the residual ozone-containing gas mixture and residual gases from the decomposing body upon contact with the maximum number of catalyst granules 6.5, the bottom parts of the hollow carrier cone 6.1 and cover 6.3 are conical for better flow distribution in front of the inlet filter 6.2 and more complete contact of the deactivated ozone-containing gas mixture in the reaction volume of a catalytic deactivator filled with a catalyst 6.5. The sanitary napkin 8 (FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 5) is intended for sorption of tissue body fluids released during the decomposition of the body or released (even more intensively) when the body is heated, if it was previously stored in a cooled state. Hygienic pad 8 (material of the "Pampers" type), which is a continuous web, is clad (fixed by any of the methods of fixing materials, for example by glue or heat welding) over the entire surface of the bottom of the bottom 1.1 of the supporting part of the airtight container 1 and consists of two parts: absorbent fluid of core 8.1 and external porous coating in the form of a cover 8.2. The absorbent liquid core 8.1 consists of an absorbent tissue fluid material, for example, dissolved pulp with an absorbent capacity of at least 50 ml / cm ^{2 of the} surface of the material. The outer cover in the form of a cover 8.2, where the core 8.1 is introduced into the absorbing liquid, consists of a soft polymer material that is moisture-permeable to tissue fluids with a porous structure.

The method of storing the body is carried out mainly in two ways:
1) In the short-term mode of treating the body with an ozone-containing gas mixture by short-term aeration and filling the internal environment of the container 1 with a sterilizing and deodorizing ozone-containing gas component in the form of an ozone-air or ozone-oxygen mixture and subsequent sealing of the container for a more or less long time required to preserve body in a given state, and the creation during this time of appropriate conditions for storing the body and the performance of ritual procedures and activities.

 2) In the continuous treatment of the body with an ozone-containing gas mixture by intermittent aeration of the internal environment of the sealed container 1 with a sterilizing and deodorizing ozone-containing gas component in the form of an ozone-air mixture or an ozone-oxygen mixture during the entire continuous cycle of treatment of the body with ozonation, its transportation and storage, and also the implementation of the ritual process.

 In the short-term treatment of the body with an ozone-containing gas mixture, the method for storing the body is as follows.

Originally known methods carry out the preparation of the body 9 for storage. After that, opening the upper 1.2 part of the airtight container 1 with a sliding lock 10, the body 9 prepared for storage is placed on a sanitary towel 8 located on the lower 1.1 of the supporting part of the airtight container 1 and using the sliding lock 10 the upper 1.2 part of the airtight container 1 is closed, isolating the body 9 from the environment. Then the shut-off valves 7 at the inlet 3 and outlet 5 nozzles are set to the "open" position, while the passage section of the valve 7 at the inlet nozzle 3 is in the "open" position more than on the valve 7 of the outlet nozzle 5. The ozone generator 2 is turned on, which generates depending on the supply of the working gas (air or oxygen), respectively, the air-ozone or an ozone-oxygen mixture (ozone concentration is not less than 1 g / m ³⁾ pumped microcompressors ozone generator 2 in an airtight container 1, and is carried internal aeration Reda hermetic container 1, ozone-containing gas mixture. In this case, the ozone-containing gas mixture is pumped through the sealed container 1 with a slight back pressure due to the difference in the flow cross sections of the taps 7 on the supply 3 and outlet 5 pipes. A variant of the body ozonation process 9 is selected based on the age of the deceased or deceased, the initial state of the body, the ambient temperature, the distance of transportation of the body and the time required for ritual procedures not exceeding 1 day. The exposure of the ozonation of the internal environment of the sealed container 1 is short-term and can vary from 1 to 3 hours. The ozone-containing gas mixture pumped through the internal environment of the sealed container 1 interacts with the gases released during the decomposition of the body 9 and, in the case of cooling the body in the morgue, with tissue fluids released during heating and decomposition of the body: absorbed due to the high absorbent properties, sanitary towel 8. Due to high deodorizing and sterilizing properties of ozone in relation to most air pollutants: ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, organic compounds (sulfur-containing substances a, markaptany, methane, indole, skatole and derivatives thereof and so forth.), etc. the pumped ozone-containing gas mixture not only neutralizes the internal environment of the sealed container 1 from these harmful impurities, but also disinfects it from various pathogenic microorganisms that produce, as a rule, during the decomposition of biological objects. The deodorized mixture (residual gases) of the air previously contaminated from the decomposing body and the residual (excess) unreacted part of the ozone-containing gas mixture leaving the internal environment of the sealed container 1 enter the catalytic deactivator 6, where they are further deactivated and destroyed in the reaction volume of the catalytic deactivator, filled with catalyst 6.5. At the outlet of the catalytic deactivator 6, the air according to organoleptic indicators, as a rule, practically does not differ from ambient air under normal conditions. In order to relax and reduce the psychoemotional load during the ritual process, it is possible to introduce into the cavity a catalytic deactivator 6 together with catalyst 6.5 and flavorings, for example, essential oils on various kinds of carriers. After exposure to the required exposure, the shut-off valve 7 on the outlet pipe 5 is closed and pressurized container 1 is pressurized to create a slight overpressure in it (no more than 60 mm Hg), then the shut-off valve 7 on the inlet pipe 3 is moved to the closed position and turn off the ozone generator 2. If necessary, after a day, the above short-term treatment regimen of the body with ozonation is repeated. Then, in the prescribed manner, relatives or interested organizations are handed over the body prepared in accordance with the proposed storage method in an airtight container 1 for the subsequent implementation of the established ritual procedures. If necessary, after a day at home or in other conditions, the above short-term regimen of body treatment with ozonation is repeated. Before directly performing the ritual procedures, the inlet pipe 3 with the ozone generator 2 connected to it, a check valve 4 and a shut-off valve 7 are disconnected from the inlet flange 1.3, which seals the formed hole due to a built-in nipple (not shown). After that, the discharge pipe 5 is also disconnected with the flow valve 4 connected to it, a shut-off valve 7 and a catalytic deactivator 6 from the inlet flange 1.4, which then seals the formed hole due to the built-in nipple (not shown).

 With a continuous treatment of the body with an ozone-containing gas mixture, the method for storing the body is as follows.

Initially, as in the previously described short-term treatment of the body with known methods, the preparation of the body 9 for storage is carried out. After that, opening the upper 1.2 part of the airtight container 1 with a sliding lock 10, the body 9 prepared for storage is placed on a sanitary towel 8 located on the lower 1.1 of the supporting part of the airtight container 1 and using the sliding lock 10 the upper 1.2 part of the airtight container 1 is closed, isolating the body 9 from the environment. Then the shut-off valves 7 at the inlet 3 and outlet 5 nozzles are set to the "open" position, while the passage section of the valve 7 at the inlet nozzle 3 in the "open" position is larger than on the valve 7 of the outlet nozzle 5. The ozone generator 2 is turned on, which generate depending on the supplied working gas (air or oxygen), respectively, the ozone-air or ozone-oxygen mixture (ozone concentration of at least 1 g / m ³ ), pumped by the micro-compressor of the ozone generator 2 into an airtight container 1, and a continuous cycle of aero the interior of the sealed container 1 with an ozone-containing gas mixture. In this case, the ozone-containing gas mixture is pumped through the sealed container 1 with a slight back pressure due to the difference in the flow cross sections of the taps 7 on the supply 3 and outlet 5 pipes. Periodically, every 1-3 hours of continuous operation, the ozone generator 2 is turned off for 20-30 minutes to cool the system of discharge electrodes and a microcompressor. During the cooling period of the system of discharge electrodes of the ozone generator 2 and the microcompressor, the ozone-containing gas mixture filling the sealed container 1 continues to interact with the gases released during the decomposition of the body 9. The treatment of the body 9 with ozonation is carried out in a continuous cycle of its treatment, regardless of the age of the deceased or deceased, the initial state of the body, the ambient temperature, the distance of transportation of the body and the time required to perform the ritual procedures, which can be several days or more. In this case, the continuous cycle of the body’s treatment during long-term transportation over long distances and in the absence of reliable energy sources is ensured by the possibility of supplying the ozone generator 2 with electric power both from the 220 V, 50 Hz network and from the 24-27 V power system. The ozone-containing gas mixture pumped through the internal environment of the sealed container 1, interacts with the gases released during the decomposition of the body 9 and, in the case of cooling the body in the morgue, with the tissue fluids absorbed during heating and decomposition of the body, which are absorbed due to the high absorbent properties of the sanitary napkin 8. Due to the high deodorizing and sterilizing properties of ozone in relation to most air pollutants - ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, organic compounds (sulfur-containing substances, mercaptans, methane, indole, skatol and their derivatives, etc. ) etc. - the pumped ozone-containing gas mixture not only neutralizes the internal environment of the sealed container 1 from these harmful impurities, but also disinfects it from various pathogenic microorganisms that produce, as a rule, upon decomposition of biological objects. The deodorized mixture (residual gases) of the air previously contaminated from the decaying body and the residual (excess) unreacted part of the ozone-containing gas mixture leaving the internal environment of the sealed container 1 enter the catalytic deactivator 6, where they are deactivated and destroyed in the reaction volume of the catalytic deactivator, filled with catalyst 6.5. At the outlet of the catalytic deactivator 6, the air according to organoleptic indicators, as a rule, practically does not differ from ambient air under normal conditions. In order to relax and reduce the psychoemotional load both during long-term transportation of the body and during the ritual process, it is possible to introduce into the cavity a catalytic deactivator 6 together with a 6.5 catalyst and flavorings, for example, essential oils on various kinds of carriers.

 After delivery of the body to its destination, the body prepared in accordance with the proposed storage method in an airtight container 1 is transferred in the prescribed manner to relatives or interested organizations for the subsequent implementation of the established ritual procedures. Before the direct implementation of the ritual activities and the burial of the body, the inlet pipe 3 with the ozone generator 2 attached to it, a check valve 4 and a shut-off valve 7 are disconnected from the inlet flange 1.3, which seals the formed hole due to a built-in nipple (not shown). After this, the discharge pipe 5 is also disconnected with the flow valve 4 connected to it, a shut-off valve 7 and a catalytic deactivator 6 from the inlet flange 4.4, which then seals the formed hole due to the built-in nipple (not shown).

 Example 1

Patient V., 18 years old. Died July 4, 1999, the consequences of a car accident. Diagnosis: multiple fractures of the lower extremities and pelvic bones, open skull injury, fracture of the occipital bone. After a forensic autopsy, reconstruction, and appropriate treatment, she was in the forensic morgue BSMP 1 in Omsk and kept at a temperature of +5 ^o С ... + 7 ^o С. The ambient temperature outside the morgue during the day reached +29 ^o С The body was handed over to relatives in the prescribed manner 12 hours after opening to carry out the burial ritual, which took place 2 days after death.

 Storage of the body in the premises of the forensic morgue after opening and until the moment it was issued to relatives was carried out using the option of a short-term treatment regimen for the body according to the above description of the body storage method. An ozone-air mixture was used as a sterilizing and deodorizing ozone-containing gas component during body treatment with ozonation. The choice of the short-term treatment regimen for the body was justified taking into account the young age of the deceased by a satisfactory pathomorphological state of the body and the fact that the burial ritual was carried out after a relatively short period after death and at the place of residence in the village where the event ended in death.

An analysis of the air carried out (for ethical reasons in between ritual events) showed that in the room (area 22 m ² , volume 65 m ³ , average temperature in the room +24 ^o C), where a coffin was installed with a sealed container enclosed in it with the body, the air environment in its organoleptic characteristics did not differ much from the ambient air outside the specified room (ammonia content of 0.005 g / m ³ , hydrogen sulfide - 0.0006 g / m ³ , carbon dioxide - 2.2 g / m ³ , oxygen - 20 ,8%). In this case, there was no occurrence of tissue fluid from the coffin of the deceased, where the polymer deformable sealed container of the body storage device with an open sliding lock and an open upper part that opens the body of the deceased for viewing and parting with it was placed and draped, nor was an accumulation of tissue fluid inside the sealed container due to its dense absorption by an absorbent sanitary pad located under the body. This ensured an increase in the time of aesthetic preservation of the body, and, consequently, an increase in the aesthetics of ritual events.

 Example 2

Patient F., 76 years old. He died on September 11, 1999 due to a chronic disease. Diagnosis: acute cerebrovascular accident with a breakthrough into the ventricles of the brain. Hypertension IV. Extensive atherosclerosis. Diabetes. After death, the body remained for 34 hours at a temperature of +5 ^o С ... + 7 ^o С in the pathological and anatomical department of the BSMP 2 of Omsk without opening. The ambient temperature outside the pathological anatomical department during the day reached +20 ^o C. The body was given to relatives in the prescribed manner for the implementation of the burial ritual, which took place 3 days after death at the place of residence - in the countryside, distant from Omsk about 80 km.

 Storage of the body in the room of the pathological and anatomical department and until the moment it was issued to relatives was carried out initially by using the short-term treatment regimen for the body according to the above description of the body storage method. An ozone-oxygen mixture was used as a sterilizing and deodorizing ozone-containing gas component during body treatment with ozonation. The choice of a short-term treatment regimen for the body was justified taking into account the old age of the deceased, as well as the poor state of the body due to the beginning of the process of its decay.

 After the body was handed over to relatives and taking into account the initial state of the body of the deceased, the ambient temperature, as well as the need to transport the body to the burial place, it was proposed to apply in this situation a method for storing the body in the variant of continuous treatment of the body with ozonation by intermittent aeration of the internal environment of a sealed container with a sterilizing body deodorizing ozone-containing gas component in the form of an ozone-air mixture during a continuous cycle of body treatment with ozonation up to e burial place. In this case, a continuous cycle of processing the body when transporting it by truck to the place of residence (80 km) was carried out by supplying an ozone generator from the vehicle’s on-board network (27 V), and when delivering the body and during ritual activities at home, it was powered by 220 V, 50 Hz

An analysis of the air carried out (for ethical reasons in the intervals between ritual events) showed that in the room (area 18 m ² , volume 50 m ³ , average temperature in the room +18 ^o С), where a coffin with a sealed container enclosed in it was installed with the body, the air environment in its organoleptic characteristics did not differ much from the ambient air outside the specified room (ammonia content - 0.003 g / m ³ , hydrogen sulfide - 0.0004 g / m ³ , carbon dioxide - 2.0 g / m ³ , oxygen - 21.5%). At the same time, there was no visible presence of tissue fluid at the bottom of the coffin and in the sealed and draped polymer sealed container with an open sliding lock and an open upper part opening the body of the deceased due to its absorption by an absorbent sanitary pad located under the body. This ensured a long aesthetic preservation of the body of the deceased, who had an advanced age, during the implementation of the burial ritual under adverse conditions, and consequently, an increase in the aesthetics of ritual events.

 Thus, the proposed method for storing the body and the device for its implementation can provide, in situations related to problems of storage, transportation and burial of bodies, taking into account their physical condition, conditions and place of their storage, possibilities and time of transportation of the body, the esthetically possible preservation of the bodies of deceased people with increasing the aesthetics of ritual events through the use of an effective, low-cost and relatively simple method that implements short-term or continuous treatment heel body ozonation ozone-air or ozone-oxygen mixtures at simultaneous absorption of tissue fluids and body gases released during the expansion body.

 To date, various technological schemes have been worked out for the method of storing bodies and their parts, and primarily related to the storage and transportation of bodies from zones of military conflict, natural or man-made disasters.
