Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1992Nerve agents are highly potent and rapidly acting organophosphorus compounds that irreversibly bind and inactive acetylcholinesterase. Only rarely have they been used in warfare, but their great lethality and the threat that they pose have encouraged production and stockpiling in large quantities.

Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz, 2019Despite long-lasting international efforts to ban and disarm chemical warfare agents (CWAs), they pose an ongoing threat to the population. The reasons for this are existing remainders, inappropriately disposed of chemical munitions and availability of instructions for synthesis in open literature.

Clinical Pediatric Emergency Medicine, 2002
Abstract There is an increased risk that civilian populations will be targets of domestic terrorism. Release of chemical warfare agents in these populations can cause a large number of casualties, with children being disproportionately affected. Chemical agents pose a significant risk to unprepared medical providers.

Many books cover the emergency response to chemical terrorism. But what happens after the initial crisis? Chlorine, phosgene, and mustard were used in World War I. Only years after the war were the long-term effects of these gases realized. In the 60s, 70s, and 80s, these and other agents were used in localized wars.
