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.

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,

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.

Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs)
2017The extended usage of chemicals as weapons dates since classical times, when lighting of bonfires, irritant smokes, and several compositions of pitch, petroleum, and sulfur (Greek fire) delivered a serious advancement for a mass troop elimination.

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.

Chemical warfare agent simulants
Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy, 2008The public interest in protection against terrorist attacks has elicited a renewed focus on the evaluation of environmental fate effects of chemical warfare agents (such as Tabun and Sarin). Due to the toxicity of the chemical warfare agents, direct evaluation of fate effects cannot be accomplished through the use of the specific agent.

Electrochemical Biosensors for Chemical Warfare Agents
2016Since 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,

Chemical warfare agents. Classes and targets
Toxicology Letters, 2018Synthetic toxic chemicals (toxicants) and biological poisons (toxins) have been developed as chemical warfare agents in the last century. At the time of their initial consideration as chemical weapon, only restricted knowledge existed about their mechanisms of action.
