Abstract
Some chemical substances having the toxicity impact higher are being used for quite long time and for different purposes which pose a serious threat to human race. Chemical warfare refers to the use of such toxic substances for simulating injury or in worst scenario for killing in military operations. The basic chemicals which were used in Peloponnesian war were Sulphur oxide and ignited pitch. In World War 1, the usage of chemical warfare agents reached at its peak as French military used Ethylbromoacetate. Other than this many other toxic chemicals were employed such as o-dianisidine chlorosulphate, chyloroacetate, chlorine, phosgene, hydrogen cyanide and Sulphur mustard which caused a million of fatalities. However, other than mortifying factors of these chemicals, these cannot be banned as described by chemical warfare convention (CWC) in 1970 due to its multi-purposes in heavy industry.
