A pulmonary (choking) agent is a type of chemical weapon that primarily affects the respiratory system, leading to difficulty in breathing and potentially suffocation. Common examples include chlorine gas and phosgene. These agents cause damage to lung tissue and disrupt normal breathing, making them particularly dangerous in confined spaces.

What pulmonary agent is relatively insoluble in water and relatively slow to react chemically?
Nitric oxide (NO) is a pulmonary agent that is relatively insoluble in water and relatively slow to react chemically. It is often used as a vasodilator in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension.
What treatment should you use with patients suffering from pulmonary agent exposure?
Recognizing which compartments are damaged and minimizing that damage.
Which pulmonary agent was created to destroy gas mask filters?
diphosgene
Which of the following agent is considered to be a slow effect agent?
Insulin is considered a slow-acting agent as it takes more time to begin lowering blood sugar levels compared to other agents like rapid-acting insulins or oral antidiabetic medications.
What are the effects of each chemical agent?
Attacks muscles of the body- Nerve agent Attacks the skin and lungs- Blister agent Attacks the airways and lungs- Choking agent Attacks the oxygen-carrying capacity of the body- Blood agent
