1 Chemical and Biological Weapons Garrett Knopp, Dylan Scott, Grace Skolosh, and Kaylla Vaughn

2 How it works Biological and Chemical weaponry is a disease contained inside a missile or bomb and launched on the enemy. They also wipe diseases on letters or plant them in soil and send them to the opposition.

3 Chemical and Biological ●Both Chemical and Biological weapons can easily kill thousands of people ●These weapons are mainly used in wars ●Millions of people have died from each of these weapons

4 Chemical Weapons ●Chemical weaponry consists of toxic chemicals ●Munitions and devices, specifically designed to cause death or other harm through the toxic properties of those toxic chemicals ●Equipment specifically used to kill large amounts of people at a time

5 Biological Weapons Biological weaponry deals with weapons of mass destruction that uses a biological agent such as bacteria or a virus that is harmful to living beings and vegetation; also called a bioweapon bioweapon

6 ●Chemical and Biological weapons are really effective for how expensive they are ●In wars they used some chemical weapons to destroy the vegetation so people could not hide Pros

7 Pros continued ●Biological weapons are easy to spread over a large amount of people since they can travel through water sources ●They could be used to create and spread a plague throughout opposing armies, and spread said plague to the rest of the country

8 Cons ●A bad group of people such as terrorists can easily get this weapon and kill thousands of people ●America has used these weapons in war, but it has also been used on them ●It has killed millions of Americans ●One of the biggest disadvantages is that it is unpredictable

9 Cons continued ●Say a car drives through a city and somebody has been infected by Chemical and Biological Weapons, then it could infect everyone in the city ●The diseases can be sent as easy as mail ●Unlike a gun, you slowly die. It is a horrible way to die, and can cause more harm than intended

10 Cons continued ●If the wind blows in the wrong direction the weapons can spread upon our troops causing damage where damage is not wanted ●Some of the diseases can linger longer than desired ●Anthrax can last up to 50 years in soil

11 Ways to protect yourself ●Being protected from Biological and Chemical weaponry is not easy ●The only way to protect yourself is by wearing a gas mask and complete body coverings
