WHAT DOES CHEMICAL AGENT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

chemical agent

Chemical weapon

A chemical weapon is a device that uses chemicals formulated to inflict death or harm on human beings. They are classified as weapons of mass destruction though they are separate from biological weapons, nuclear weapons, and radiological weapons. Chemical weapons can be widely dispersed in gas, liquid and solid forms and may easily afflict others than the intended targets. Nerve gas, tear gas and pepper spray are three modern examples. Lethal, unitary, chemical agents and munitions are extremely volatile and they constitute a class of hazardous chemical weapons that are now being stockpiled by many nations. The most dangerous of these are nerve agents GA, GB, and VX, and vesicant agents which are formulations of sulfur mustard such as H, HT, and HD. All are liquids at normal room temperature, but become gaseous when released. Widely used during the First World War, the effects of so-called mustard gas, phosgene gas and others caused lung searing, blindness, death and maiming. Pepper spray is of common use today. It is potentially lethal.
