Chemical Warfare 4
Chemical Warfare 4 : War in which harmful chemical substances are used with the intention to kill, injure, or otherwise incapacitate humans or to destroy the environment and national economies. The many chemical weapons are grouped in seven main categories in terms of their toxic properties: nerve agents (lethal); pulmonary toxics (lethal); cyanide (lethal); tissue damaging vesicants (mustards, Lewisites, halogenated oximes); psychomimetics; riot control agents (incapacitating); and defoliants. Chemical weapons are internationally outlawed by the 1925 Geneva Protocol. Syn: Chemical Weapon, CW
