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.

Chemistries of Chemical Warfare Agents [PDF]
, 2019 This chapter provides a broad overview of the chemistries of selected substances that have been considered as chemical warfare agents at one time or another. It focuses on reactions that are representative of the compounds or are of special value. The types of weapons employed ranged from disabling chemicals, such as tear agents, to lethal agents, such

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.

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.

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,

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.
