9. Throughout history, chemical weapons have been used in one form or another.  The earliest form of chemical weapons was the use of spears and arrows dipped in poison.  The Spartans mixed pitch and sulphur and ignited it to create toxic fumes during battle in order to incapacitate the enemy.  Other armies dipped cloth in poison and lit it on fire to create a toxic cloud over opposing armies. The first large-scale use of chemical weapons came in World War I when, in 1915, the Germans released chlorine gas against the Allied positions at Ypres, Belgium, causing over 5,000 casualties.

Explanation

HM Manual 14295B page 23-1

Submit
10. Each blister agent is chemically different and can cause significantly specific symptoms.  They are all similar in their physical characterisitsics and toxicology.  Mustard (H), Distilled Mustard (HD), and Nitrogen Mustard (HN) are oily, colorless or pale yellow liquids, sparingly soluble in water.  HN is less volatile and more persistent than HD but has the same blistering qualities.  Lewisite (L) is an arsenic-based compound that comes as a light-to-dark brown liquid that vaporizes slowly.  It is more likely to flow spots such as valleys, ditches, holes, and the ground or deck.

17. Pulmonary agents such as Phosgene (CG) damage the membranes in the lungs that separate the alveolar tissue, resulting in fluid from the blood to leak into the alveoli and fill them with fluid.  This prevents necessary gas exchange, causing hypoxia and pulmonary edema. Phosgene is a colorless gas with a distinctive odor similar to that of new-mown hay or freshly cut grass.

Explanation

HM Manual 14295B page 23-10

Submit
18. Pulmonary agents damage the membranes in the lungs that separate the alveolar tissue resulting in fluid from the blood to leak into the alveoli, filling them with fluid.  This prevents necessary gas exchange within the alveoli causing hypoxia, creating a condition known as pulmonary edema. Pulmonary agents include gases such as phosgene (CG), and chlorine (Cl).  HC Smoke and Ammonia should also be considered pulmonary agents. Pulmonary agents are usually in vapor typically heavy than air, and travel close to the ground.  They tend to evaporate and disburse very quickly, depending on temperature and wind.  Chlorine and ammonia have very distinct smells.  Phosgene (CG) is a colorless gas with the distinctive odor similar to that of new-mown hay.

Explanation

21. Biological attacks may not be apparent and require a full epimediology study.  Small scale outbreaks or those occuring a long period of time require further investigation.  Outbreaks occuring in multiple geographical locations may either be a natural occurence or an intentional release.

Explanation

HM Manual 14295B page 23-17

Submit
22. Weather conditions will influence the effectiveness and duration of chemical agents in the following manner:
  • Wind in an open area will disperse an agent quickly.  Calm winds or protected areas (wooded areas, ditches, and urban areas) will allow an agent to stay in an area longer.
  • High temperatures decrease the persistency of agents and tend to cause higher vapor concentrations.  This is especially true with mustard agents.
  • Low temperatures increase the persistency of agents.  Some agents may freeze, thus reducing the immediate contact hazard or vapor hazard but there is a danger of moving frozen agents on personnel clothing or equipment into a warm building where the agent can thaw providing a subsequent risk of toxic vapor contamination.
  • Rain washes away, dilutes, and promotes hydrolysis of agents.  This reduces their risk but does not make them harmless.

Explanation

HM Manual 14295B page 23-3

Submit
23. Nerve agents are odorless, almost colorless liquids or vapors that vary greatly in viscosity and volatility.  They are moderately soluble in water and fairly stable unless strong alkali or chlorinating compounds are added.  They are very effective solvents, readily penetrating cloth either as a liquid or vapor.  Other materials, including leather and wood are fairly well penetrated.  Butyl rubber and synthetics such as polyester, are much more resistant.

40. The three most common methods to detect chemical agents are: M9 CHEMICAL AGENT DETECTOR PAPER - The most widely used method of detecting liquid chemical warfare agents.  M9 paper indicates the presence of a nerve agent or a blister agent by turning a pink, red, reddish brown, purple color.  It does not identify which agent gives the positive reading. M8 CHEMICAL AGENT DETECTOR PAPER - This method is also used to test for the presence of liquid chemical agents.  It can detect the presence of liquid chemical agents, which M9 paper cannot.  When the paper touches a G-Class nerve agent it will turn a gold or yellow color, and will turn an Olive or Verdana Green color when it touches VX agent.  If it turns red or purple, then it has come in contact with blister agents. M256A1 CHEMICAL AGENT DETECTOR KIT - Portable kit that detects nerve gas, mustard gas, and cyanide.  This kit contains a package of M8 paper, detailed instructions, and a vapor sampler (12 enzymatic tickets that contain laboratory filter paper for detecting vapors).  The vapor sampler uses wet chemistry technology in which ampules containing different substrates are crused so that the liquids interact with strips of filter paper, chromatographic media, and glass fiber filter.  The reactions cause a color change alerting the user to the presence of a chemical agent.  These reactions usually take 15 minutes.
