Chemical warfare agents

Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology, 2008
Chemical warfare agents (CWA's) are defined as any chemical substance whose toxic properties are utilised to kill, injure or incapacitate an enemy in warfare and associated military operations. Chemical agents have been used in war since times immemorial, but their use reached a peak during World War I. During World War II only the Germans used them in

Supramolecular Sensing of Chemical Warfare Agents

open access: yesChemPlusChem, 2021
AbstractChemical warfare agents are a class of organic molecules used as chemical weapons due to their high toxicity and lethal effects. For this reason, the fast detection of these compounds in the environment is crucial. Traditional detection methods are based on instrumental techniques, such as mass spectrometry or HPLC, however the use of molecular

Chemical warfare agents

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.

Agents of chemical warfare: Sulfur mustard

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1992
Sulfur 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.

Chemical Warfare Agents

2015
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.

Chemical Warfare Agents

2000
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, 1946
THE 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,

[Chemical warfare agents].

Ugeskrift for laeger, 2020
This review presents an overview of the different classes of chemical warfare agents and the toxidromes associated with these agents. An increasing terrorist threat to Denmark and the Danish armed forces operating internationally mandates increased awareness of chemical warfare agents in clinicians working with emergency and military medicine.

Electrochemical Biosensors for Chemical Warfare Agents

2016
Since the introduction of modern CWAs at the beginning of 20th century, there has been a continuous interest in the development of robust and reliable analytical tools for the detection of these agents, to provide early alarm in case of terroristic attacks, as well as to monitor their presence in the environment and prevent contamination. Nevertheless,
