Chemical warfare agents: II. nerve agents
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.

The use of chemical warfare agents is of serious concern for the military and civilian populations. The experience of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries reveals that nerve agents and mustard gas are the main chemicals used for mass destruction. The vesicating effect of mustard gas is the main focus of this review.

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.

Biochemical Research on Chemical Warfare Agents
Nature, 1946THE fundamental mechanisms by which poison gases produce their effects, involving as they do the action of chemical substances on living tissues, are prinftrily a matter for investigation by the biochemist, For some time past the belief has been growylg that many, if not most, poisons act by attacking one or more of the essential intracellular enzymes,

Agents of chemical warfare: Sulfur mustard
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1992Sulfur mustard is a chemical warfare agent of historical and current interest. Favored militarily because of its ability to incapacitate rather than its ability to kill, its use results in large numbers of casualties requiring prolonged, intensive care.

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.

Chromatographic analysis of chemical warfare agents
Journal of Chromatography A, 1990The usefulness and applications of the particular types of chromatography in the analysis of chemical warfare agents have been reviewed. A major problem in the chromatographic analysis of chemical warfare agents is the collection and preparation of the samples. The importance of this problem differs for the various types of chromatography.
