[email protected] Chemical weapons are weapons that exploit the toxicity of chemicals to bring about death or harm. The toxic chemicals on which chemical weapons are based are known as chemical warfare agents. The elimination of this entire category of weapons is the aim of the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction, also known as Chemical Weapons Convention or CWC, which was opened for signature in 1993 and entered into force in 1997. Administered and implemented by the Hague- based Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), the CWC is an international treaty that enjoys almost universal embracement, having been ratified or acceded by 193 States Parties. Importantly, the CWC poses a complete and absolute ban on chemical weapons, mandating State Parties to renounce “(a) to develop, produce, otherwise acquire, stockpile or retain chemical weapons, or transfer, directly or indirectly, chemical weapons to anyone; (b) to use chemical weapons; (c) to engage in any military preparations to use chemical weapons; (d) to assist, encourage or induce, in any way, anyone to engage in any activity prohibited to a State Party” under the Convention (CWC Article II, Paragraph 1) (1-3).

  • Historical Analysis of Chemical Warfare in World War I for Understanding the Impact of Science and Technology
    Historical Analysis of Chemical Warfare in World War I for Understanding the Impact of Science and Technology An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Cory Houghton John E. Hughes Adam Kaminski Matthew Kaminski Date: 2 March 2019 Report Submitted to: David I. Spanagel Worcester Polytechnic Institute This report represents the work of one or more WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Projects ii Acknowledgements Our project team would like to express our appreciation to the following people assisted us with our project: ● Professor David Spanagel, our project advisor, for agreeing to advise our IQP and for helping us throughout the whole process. ● Amy Lawton, Head of the Access Services at Gordon Library, for helping us set up and plan our exhibit at Gordon Library. ● Arthur Carlson, Assistant Director of the Gordon Library, for helping us set up and plan our exhibit as well as helping us with archival research. ● Jake Sullivan, for helping us proofread and edit our main research document. ● Justin Amevor, for helping us to setup and advertise the exhibit. iii Abstract Historians categorize eras of human civilization by the technologies those civilizations possessed, and so science and technology have always been hand in hand with progress and evolution. Our group investigated chemical weapon use in the First World War because we viewed the event as the inevitable result of technology outpacing contemporary understanding.

Revised 24 th May 2015. Published 4 th September 2015. Summary World War I was a conflict where chemical warfare was first used on a massive scale. The earliest chemical attack occurred on the Western Front in October 1914 in Neuve Chapelle, but its effects were so minimal that the Allies learned about it only after the war from German documents. The attack in the Bolimow area, carried out by the Germans against the Russian army with artillery shells containing gas T (xylyl and benzyl bromides), was therefore the first attack on a massive scale recorded on the victim side. The attack, which occurred after it, made it possible to obtain some tactical success, but without a strategic breakthrough. Some of the later German attacks on the Eastern Front where chlorine was used proved to be more effective, but despite many victims there was not any major strategic success achieved. The Russians did not take attempts to use chemical weapons in the World War I. Key words: respiratory irritants; irritant gases; chemical warfare agents; riot control agents; World War I INTRODUCTION comfort to acute airway and lung injury and even death.
