Chemical weapons also include the chemical's precursors, the munitions and devices designed to deliver them, and any equipment specifically designed for their use in warfare. Nerve agents (chemicals of the same family as organophosphorous insecticides) are the most lethal of the classical chemical warfare agents, killing by poisoning the nervous system and disrupting bodily functions. Other chemical weapons include blister agents, vesicants, choking agents, etc. (用于战争的化学物质，包括所有因为对人类或动物有直接毒性而可以被使用的气体、液体或固体物质。化学武器还包括化学的先质、军火、运输它们的装置，以及特别为战争设计的装备。神经作用剂(一类化学物质，如有机含磷杀虫剂)是最致命的经典的化学战争制剂，通过毒害神经系统和扰乱身体功能而致死。另一些化学武器包括糜烂性毒剂、发泡剂、窒息性毒剂等。) |
