Blister agents include all of the following EXCEPT?

Blister agents, also known as vesicants, primarily include substances like mustard gas, lewisite, and phosgene oxime, which cause severe blistering and damage to the skin and mucous membranes. However, agents such as nerve agents (e.g., sarin or VX) do not fall under the category of blister agents, as they function primarily by disrupting the nervous system rather than causing blisters. Therefore, any mention of nerve agents would be an exception in the context of blister agents.

Are nerve agents toxic in all forms?

Yes, nerve agents are toxic in all forms, whether as gases, liquids, or aerosols. Their chemical structure allows them to inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, leading to a buildup of acetylcholine in the nervous system, which can cause paralysis and death. The severity of toxicity can vary based on the agent's form, concentration, and exposure route, but all forms pose significant health risks. Proper handling and protective measures are essential to mitigate their dangers.
