CONTENT
 INTRODUCTION
 CHEMICAL WARFARE
 CHEMICAL WARFARE AND AGENTS
 TYPES OF CHEMICAL AGENTS
 HOW TO SURVIVE CHEMICAL WARFARE AND
AGENTS
 CONCLUSION
INTRODUCTION
A gas leak in Bhopal India is considered
the worst industrial accident with a
death toll that has never been fixed, but
is definitely over 5000.
Disasters at plants like the one in Bhopal,
train derailments, tanker trucker
accidents a possibility anywhere.
CHEMICAL WARFARE
 Chemical warfare is the use of non living toxins to incapacitate or kill humans,
plants or animals.
 Chemical terrorism is the same, except not state sponsored.
 Chemical warfare was used extensively in World War 1.
 The French were the first to employ it.
 It is estimated there were 1.3 million chemical weapons casualties in the war,
including civilans.

CHEMICAL WARFARE AND
AGENTS
Persistency: how long they remain
active after being deployed.
There are some unique properties
to chemical weapons and agents.
There are 70 different types and
they can come in solid, liquid or gas
form.
Agents are divided into lethal and
incapacitating.
Chemical agents are also rated
according to their persistency.
CONTINUE…
 Non-persistent chemical agents lose their effectiveness anywhere from second
to hours after their dispersal.
 Persistent chemical agent remain for days and even weeks.
 For most of us, the biggest problem with chemical agents is detection.
 Besides industrial accidents, chemical agents can be delivered by a variety of
means:
 Air
Via the water supply
Via the food supply.
TYPES OF CHEMICAL AGENTS
 There are four main types of
chemical agents:
 Nerve agents: require ingestion,
or contact.
 Blood agents: Absorbed through
respiration.
 Choking agents: Absorbed
through respiration.
 Blistering agents: Burns skin and
internal tissues on contact
(mouth,throat,lungs).
CONTINUE…
 These agents have various
effects:
 Nerve agents: Loss of muscle
control, respiratory failure and
death.
 Blood agents: Interferes with the
body’s oxygen supply leading to
death.
 Choking agents: Death from lack
of oxygen.
 Blistering agent: Lung damage,
long term blindness.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR AND SURVIVE
CHEMICAL WARFARE AND AGENTS…
 Shut all air intakes into house
 Turn off ac/heating.
 If caught in car, stay in the
car.keep windows closed.
 Turn off outside air circulation.
 Cover yourself completely.
 Grab-n-go bag should be a
surgical type mask.
CONCLUSION
 its purpose serves to kill or incapacitate other people or animals during
warfare and these agents succeed in doing just that, making it an
effective tool to use during war. Yet, the number of deaths, immediate
and generational disabilities, damages, change in government policies
and negative media attention challenges its worth.
THANK YOU
