AB The  use  of  chemical  warfare  agents  (CWAs)  in  modern  warfare  dates  back  to  World  War  I  (WWI).  Sulfur  mustard  and  nerve  agents  were  used  by  Iraq  against  the  Iranian  military  and  Kurdish  civilians.  Most  recently  the  nerve  agent  sarin,  GB,  was  used  by  the  Syrian  military  against  their  civilian  population.  Since  the  Japanese  sarin  attacks  in  1994–1995  and  the  terrorist  strikes  of  September  11,  2001,  the  all-too-real  possibility  of  chemical  or  biological  terrorism  against  civilian  populations  anywhere  in  the  world  has  attracted  increased  attention.
