Chemical and Biological Weapons By Draven Stanley, Darrian Bryant & Natalie Zuchowski

What are Chemical Weapons? A chemical weapon (CW) is a munition (a material used in war) that uses chemicals formulated to inflict death or harm on human beings. Chemical weapons have been used for a very long time, and have been able to kill thousands of people in one use. Chemical weapons have been banned from use in warfare by the Geneva Convention of 1949.[4]

Chemical Weapons Chemical weapons are mostly effective, depending on the chemical manufactured for the weaponized use. An example is the releasing of a nerve gas known as sarin gas into a Tokyo subway by the group Aum Shinrikyo, which wounded thousands and killed 12. [4]

What are Biological Weapons? Biological weapons (BW) are weapons of mass destruction (or WMDs) that use bacteria, viruses, or toxins to kill a large amount of people. They are easily created, and can pass from individual to individual to affect a very large amount of people.[5]

Biological Weapons Examples of biological weapons proving to be efficient include the incident in 2001, in which anthrax mailed inside an envelope sent by one individual killed five people, stopped mail systems in several cities, and more than $1 million was spent cleaning up the spores. [2]

Weapons of Mass Destruction

Pros Biological weapons are extremely efficient, as a single gram of botulinum toxin can kill millions of individuals.[1] Biological weapons can affect a wide area, as they can spread from person to person and even affect an entire continent.[1]

Pros Chemical and biological weaponry cause only thousands of deaths as opposed to millions in non-WMD warfare.[4] Chemical warfare can cause a quick death, as opposed to dying from loss of blood or wounded organs on a battlefield.[4]

Cons The biological agent is uncontrollable when released, and may affect own troops. [1] Chemical weapons are painful.

Cons Biological weapons linger for a long period of time. Biological and chemical weapons are not 100% effective, and enemy troops can survive them.[2]
