520 _a"For centuries, nations, armies and civilians have used toxic chemicals for nefarious purposes. Although forbidden from use during warfare, chemical weapons have an unfortunately long history of use as chemical agents of destruction. Accidental or intentional exposure of civilians to toxic chemicals frequently occurs. Chemical Warfare Agents & Treatments provides an overview of different classes of chemical warfare agents, starting from the extremely toxic organophosphorus nerve agents, followed by blister agents, blood agents, pulmonary agents, and incapacitating agents, and finally ending with the least toxic class, riot control agents. The e-book covers the physiological effects caused by these agents, the underlying mechanisms of action, and the available medical treatments (as of the writing of this work)."--
