During war though, most military units have the proper personal protective equipment to guard against a chemical attack. On a side note, if mixed with other agents, Chlorine has more lethal…
I decided to do bath bombs because every girl loves them. Bath bombs are use when you take a bath. Settle in for a good soak with an original Lush invention, exploding with essential oils and tons of fizzy fun. Whether you're after a relaxing, petal-laden floral soak or an invigorating multilayered explosion of color and scent, there's a bath bomb perfect for every bathing experience. They're scented, fizzy, and fun, but do bath bombs really do anything I researched they said that “ cosmetic chemist and a dermatologist to find out”.…
Agent Orange: The Lingering Killer Agent Orange was a powerful mixture of chemical defoliants used by U.S. military forces during the Vietnam War that has a lasting effect on Vietnam Veterans and their families as well as the Vietnam environment. Even though some people believe that Agent Orange helped to prevent communist domination of South Vietnam. I believe that Agent Orange should not have been used because of the side effects it has on Vietnam Veterans now. Vietnam claims half a million children have been born with serious birth defects, and three million Vietnamese have suffered health-related problems from exposure to Agent Orange.…
Agent Orange was a mixture of chemical defoliants used by the U.S. military forces during the Vietnam War to eliminate forest cover for the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops. Before Agent Orange was used, a well-known professor warned the U.S. that the herbicide would be catastrophic to the region exposed. From 1960 to 1970, England, Italy and the U.S. confirmed the dangers of the defoliant for humans and animals. The differences in human illnesses will vary, as batches of chemicals made were not likely monitored. Therefore, it is highly unlikely to have identical batches making it difficult to compare and monitor.…

The source gives a good overview on what Agent Orange, what it's made of, why it used, and what it did.

About a hundred years ago, the first wide spread gas attacks were used in the Battle of Ypres. Soldiers risked their lives to fight for their country and protect the innocent, and they deserve to be commended for their bravery. The poster for the movie “Shellshocked” encapsulates the horrible and dreadful conditions that soldiers faced during war. The picture used in the poster is from the Battle of Verdun in 1916. The title, “Shellshocked”, is meant to relate to the disorder we now classify as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).…
In the following article, Agent Orange is explained more in-depth about the link it has to cancer. The veterans that were exposed to the harsh chemical during the Vietnam War were later found to have an increased rate of various cancers. Many soldiers on both the Viet Cong side and the U.S. were majorly exposed to the substance. Pilots of the planes and helicopters were exposed from dropping it in the fields, men that carried the spray in backpacks, and loaders who put it on the planes, were all greatly encountered with it. Basically the men who handled it were most heavily affected and the way it entered the body could have been from breathing it in, ingesting it in contaminated food or drink, or absorbed through the skin.…
The legacy of the Chemical Corps is broad and full of many stories of how it played a part in numerous wars such as World War 1, Korean War and etc. These moments in history are the foundation of the corps which makes up the bare essentials of what we live and train by today. Even though with our profound history very few know of it and understand our capabilities. One must first understand that we were created in order to protect and serve against chemicals that not only harm us but as well killed many of our innocent lives and fellow soldiers because lack of knowledge of its effects, not being able to recognize its presence or simply not having the proper protective equipment to shield oneself from its effects. As you read further this essay…

Differences between HazMat and chemical WMD responses Perry B Keaton Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) - 1 Instructor: Dawn Brown February 5, 2016 Differences between HazMat and chemical WMD responses-1 When it comes to the difference in between Hazmat and chemical WMD responses, there are certain things the we have to take into consideration. Hazmat is something totally different in reference to a chemical weapon. For instance we mention hazmat we are basically referring to a chemical that has been disposed or discarded into an open field or some local dump site.…
Both Bosch and Haber later joined companies that played an active role in war. Bosch worked for a company producing munitions for war, while Haber advocated the production and use of poisonous gases, like chlorine gas, for chemical warfare (“Haber-Bosch Controversy”). While both won Nobel Prizes in Chemistry, they played a significant role in the death of millions during World War I and II. The degree to which these two German chemists are praised is debated in the fields of science and history, but their impact on the world is undeniable. There are also many environmental concerns with the development of this process.…
Since the ending of World War II, great controversy has arisen regarding the potential use of the Nazi doctors’ medical experiment findings. Nazi leaders instructed the doctors to perform sickening, gruesome, and terrifying experiments on the inmates of the concentration camps all throughout Europe. These unlawful experiments led the German medical community to gain vast amounts of knowledge regarding the physical limits of the human body under severe circumstances. According to Joel Dimsdale, author and Professor at the University of California, “these observations [gathered from the Nazi experiments] were kept under wraps for decades and there remains controversy even now about what these [experiments] revealed…” (Dimsdale).…
In the Holocaust gas chambers were a big thing used in killing Jews because it was fast and easy. It was a big use in getting rid of them and they were easy to use at the time with how they just pushed people into the chambers and set gas off. Starting in 1939, gas chambers were used as part of the Nazi painless killing program aimed at getting rid of disabled people. Experiments in the gassing of patients were done in October 1939 in occupied Posen in Poland. Hundreds of prisoners were killed by deadly gas poisoning in gas chambers.…
All of these gases inflict an extreme amount of pain and lead to excruciating deaths that takes hours and days to kill the victims, similar to the use of flamethrowers. In the novel and the film it showed the rough conditions…
