Attacks the skin and lungs
Different types of poison gas include nerve agents like sarin and VX, which disrupt the nervous system; choking agents such as chlorine and phosgene, which damage the respiratory system; and blister agents like mustard gas, which cause severe skin and lung injuries. Other notable types are blood agents like cyanide, which interfere with the body's ability to use oxygen, and incapacitating agents that induce confusion or incapacitation without causing permanent harm. Each type has distinct properties and effects, making them particularly dangerous in warfare and terrorist attacks.
Yes, arsenic was used during World War II, primarily in the production of chemical weapons. It was part of various compounds, such as Lewisite, which was developed as a blister agent. Additionally, arsenic was employed in certain military applications, including some forms of ammunition and as a poison. However, its use as a weapon was ultimately limited, as many countries shifted focus to other chemical agents.
This was a slogan used to remind military personnel and civilians that talking about troop movements could result in enemy intelligence agents collecting data and being able to report when troop ships took off. This information was passed to submarines and aircraft that would attack them.

In what physical form are blister agents normally disseminated?
Blister agents primarily target the skin and mucous membranes. When exposed, these chemical agents cause painful blisters and lesions, leading to severe skin damage. They can also affect the eyes and respiratory tract, resulting in further complications and potential long-term health effects. Overall, blister agents cause significant harm to both external and internal tissues.

Blister Agents
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.
