Chemical munitions

Chemical munitions are weapons that use toxic chemicals designed to harm or kill people, animals, or plants. They can be delivered through bombs, shells, or sprays. These chemicals, such as nerve agents or blister agents, attack the nervous system or skin, causing severe injuries or death. Chemical munitions are regulated internationally because of their dangerous nature and potential for mass harm. Their use is prohibited in warfare under agreements like the Chemical Weapons Convention, which aims to eliminate these lethal weapons and prevent their proliferation.
