Scenarios about 'chemical weapons'
Chemical weapons are armaments that use toxic substances to kill, injure, or incapacitate targets through chemical reactions. First deployed on a massive scale during World War I, these weapons include blister agents, nerve agents, and choking agents, prompting international prohibitions like the Geneva Protocol and Chemical Weapons Convention.
