chemical and biological warfare

Chemical warfare involves the use of toxic chemicals to incapacitate or kill enemies, often delivered through gas, sprays, or bombs, disrupting breathing, skin, or nervous systems. Biological warfare utilizes pathogenic microorganisms or toxins (like bacteria, viruses, or toxins) to cause disease, illness, or death in targeted populations. Both are designed to harm on a large scale and are prohibited by international treaties due to their devastating effects and ethical concerns. These methods aim to incapacitate or eliminate opponents but pose significant risks to civilians, soldiers, and even the environment.
