Abstract

Chemical warfare has long been considered a particularly loathsome form of combat. The specter of unprotected soldiers and nearby noncombatants incapacitated or killed within moments by invisible, silent, odorless vapors discharged by a far-distant enemy has terrified many, and has also energized repeated international attempts to prohibit, or at least to moderate, these applications of deadly science.
