A chemical weapon is made of a chemical substance that reacts with the human body, causing death at a very small concentration. The reaction occurs at a very fast reaction rate and within less than one minute of exposure. Biological weapons are defined as using microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria or fungi to cause disease and death in different life forms, such as humans, and animals. A chemical warfare agent causes death due to a chemical reaction between the chemical warfare agent and human tissues. Chemical warfare agents are classified based on the location in the human body of a chemical reaction between chemical warfare agents and human tissues. These include nerve agents, Blister Agents and Choking Agents. A biological warfare agent is classified based on the type of biological toxin or infectious agent. Chemical weapons, also known as chemical warfare agents, are very inexpensive, simple to use, and easy to make. But it has very low lethality compared to nuclear weapons.
