Blair, last updated 01/30/2013 is it C H O K I N G CHL O R I N E ( C I ) First use: Germany on April 15, Near Ypres, Belgium L O W - Easy to protect against if you know it s coming; Killed hundreds of French and Algerian troops Victim s lung space to fill with their body s own fluids, thus the victim can no longer respire enough oxygen and he or she dies. S L O W 2-4 hour with a moderate exposure with death in 24 hours L O W - L O W D E L I V E R E D A S A G A S For its first use at Ypres, Belgium, the Germans used 5,730 cylinders, totaling 168 metric tons of agent R E L A T I V E L Y E A S Y A N D N O N - C O S T L Y Inexpensive, especially for industrialized nations. WIND WAS THE BIGGEST. At Ypres, in April 1915, Germans waited three weeks for ambient wind conditions to change. Wind direction changed, During the British chlorine attack near Loos, Belgium, in September 1915, causing MORE British casualties than German. C H O K I N G P H O S G E N E ( C G ) First use: 1915 by Germans Done confuse with phosgene oxime Much higher than Chlorine Again, effect on lungs but also an effect on the central nervous system. S L O W Can take up to 24 hours to kill victim Toxicity is 18 times higher than chlorine 2 L O W D E L I V E R E D A S A G A S C H O K I N G D I P H O S G E N E First use: 1916 by Germans Same as phosgene key is persistency M A S K B R E A K E R Same as phosgene key is persistency M A S K B R E A K E R S L O W Same as phosgene key is persistency M A S K B R E A K E R Same as phosgene key is persistency M A S K B R E A K E R Was created to be more persistent than chlorine or phosgene. M A S K B R E A K E R L I Q U I D A T R O O M T E M P E R A T U R E S Thus, it is easier to handle harder to weaponize than chlorine or phosgene C H O K I N G C H L O R O P I C R I N ( P S ) (Vomiting Gas) First used by Russians in 1916 L O W - Less than chlorine, phosgene, or diphosgene ¼ less toxic than phosgene or diphosgene More persistent than chlorine or phosgene. Mask Breaker: Then You Can Hit Enemy With Another CW Artillery, shells, bombs, landmines. Key: Remains Liquid Over A Wide Variety of Temps. Think Russian Winters Used in pesticides today. highly available for VNSAs but lethality could be an issue

Hitler s injury was due to this agent Mussolini in Ethiopia, Iraq against Iran in the 1980s. Libya against Chadian forces however:1 gram in vapor form will kill man in 30 minutes but most British troops dies after 6 days (62%). 80% of WW I injuries were Mustard Vapor. EYES SKIN CONTACT AND I N H A L A T I O N Inhalation is an important route of exposure. Ingestion is an uncommon route of exposure. 11 (see PP chart) initial effect 2-24 hours (relative to other nonnerve CWs) (can go through rubber and leather) One need FULL BODY protection and serious decontamination Note: Fat soluble so it effects organs If agent hits respiratory system, one is in deep trouble L Y T O X I C O I L Y L I Q U I D M E S S Y A N D D A N G E R O U S Relatively inexpensive Kills cells, creates puss, thus blisters are formed.

With binary sarin (also referred to as GB binary and GB2 ) a forward container has methylphosphonic difluoride (DF), while a second, rear container has an isopropyl alcohol and isopropylamine solution (OPA). The DF resides in the munition prior to use. The OPA is added just prior to launch. After deployment of the weapon, the two canisters rupture, the isopropyl amine binds to the hydrogen fluoride generated during the chemical reaction, and the chemical mixture produces GB. 32 Experts note that, The final product of the weapon is of the same chemical structure as the original nerve agent. The term binary refers only to the storage and deployment method used, not to the chemical structure of the substance. 33 With regard to how long it takes the DF and OPA to mix before binary sarin is extant, Eric Croddy notes that, as in any chemical reaction, a certain amount of time is required for the [binary] reaction to run its course. In the case of GB binary, this required about seven seconds. 34

Just my educated guess. 4 Lewisite liquid or vapor produces pain or irritation within seconds to minutes after contact. Pain caused by a lewisite lesion is much less severe than that caused by mustard lesions, and it diminishes after blisters Form. Erythema is evident within 15 to 30 minutes after exposure to liquid lewisite, and blisters start within several hours; these times are somewhat longer after vapor exposure. Lewisite is absorbed by the skin Within 3 to 5 minutes (compared with 20 to 30 minutes for an equal amount of mustard) and spreads over a wider area than the same amount of mustard.
