The human eye is most vulnerable to chemical warfare agents such as nerve agents, particularly organophosphates like sarin and VX. These agents can cause severe damage to the eyes, leading to symptoms like miosis (constricted pupils), blurred vision, and potential long-term visual impairment. Additionally, blister agents, such as sulfur mustard, can cause painful burns and damage to the cornea and conjunctiva. Immediate medical attention is crucial to mitigate damage and preserve vision.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of chemical warfare?
Pros: Advances in Education for scientists in order to expand knowledge on the human race... and if used for war, cheapest and most efficient way of winning a fight Cons: Unethical to kill that many people with gas and you have the risk of killing your own troops if not used properly. And why use biological warfare to wipe out a country if you wont be able to visit that country after the attack to steal resources and land because of the chemicals in the air?
How did the vietcong guerrillas use biological warfare during the Vietnam war?
They dipped bamboo spears in human feces and stuck them in the ground along trails the US used. These are the infamous "punji stakes" or "punji spikes." We defeated the threat of punji stakes by inventing a combat boot with a piece of sheet steel in the sole, having millions of pairs made quickly, and issuing two pair to every US troop in Vietnam.
Is mustard gas illegal today?
Mustard gas has been illegal since the Geneva Conventions, however its use by the US Army in Korea was admitted to by a Korean War vet I interviewed. He said it was delivered by rifle grenades which suddenly appeared at the front as the enemy were preparing for a human wave attack. Its effects were horrible as the Communist soldiers had no gask masks, and they climbed on top of each other to get above it, but the vet said it was the only way to stop them. The US denied at the time, and perhaps still does, the use of chemical warfare in this war. Chemical warfare was also used by Italy against Ethiopia and by Japan against Manchuria after it was outlawed. Germany never used it, perhaps because Hitler's lungs had been damaged by an Allied gas attack in the First World War. Some Allied soldiers in the Second World War carried gas masks and some did not, but all German soldiers did. Deterrence has proved more effective than international legislation in preventing the use of chemical weapons in war. In the 1930's. the League of Nations was unable to stop their use in Ethiopia and Manchuria, countries which possessed no chemical warfare capability, either for defense or retaliation. There is but one instance of poison gas in WW2, the bombing of an American cargo ship in Bari harbour, Italy in 1943 I think it was.... *EDIT* One thing left out is the gas Hitler used to kill the Jews in Death Camps. No *EDIT* is required. It was left out because the question was about mustard gas. The agent used to kill Jews (and others left out of the *EDIT*) was a commercial insecticide called Zyclon B, aka bug spray, although some of the camps used carbon monoxide from motor exhaust. Mustard gas is a blistering agent which has no other purpose except in chemical warfare, and its use was outlawed in the 1930's.
Is biological warfare a legitimate use of science?

How does 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate affect the human body?
The chemical warfare agent 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB, BZ) is an anticholinergic agent that affects both the peripheral and central nervous systems (CNS). It is one of the most potent anticholinergic psychomimetics known, with only small doses necessary to produce incapacitation. It is classified as a hallucinogenic chemical warfare agent. QNB usually is disseminated as an aerosol, and the primary route of absorption is through the respiratory system. Absorption also can occur through the skin or gastrointestinal tract. It is odorless. QNB's pharmacologic activity is similar to other anticholinergic drugs (eg, atropine) but with a much longer duration of action.
How many people die per year due to chemical warfare?

What species is most vulnerable to human impact?
Many species are vulnerable to human impact, but some of the most vulnerable are those with small populations, restricted habitats, and slow reproductive rates, such as the Sumatran orangutan, the Amur leopard, and the North Atlantic right whale. These species are more susceptible to extinction due to factors like habitat loss, pollution, and climate change caused by human activities.
