Abstract
This chapter describes the chemical-physical and toxicological properties of chemical warfare agents (CWA). The classification into irritants, pulmonary agents, blood agents, skin agents, nerve agents and psychotoxic agents provides a good overview. Within the groups, the most important warfare agents are listed and their properties explained. Notes on sabotage poisons, strategic warfare agents and binary CWA round off the chapter.
