Nerve chemical-warfare agents

Nerve agents are chemical-warfare agents that act directly at nerve synapses, typically increasing the activity of acetylcholine.
Other chemical agents were used in combat before World War II and are sometimes called first-generation chemical agents. Second- and 3rd-generation chemical agents include 2 types of nerve agents:

G-series agents (2nd-generation)
V-series agents (3rd-generation)

G-series agents, or G agents, include GA (tabun), GB (sarin), GD (soman), and GF (cyclosarin), which were developed by Nazi Germany before and during World War II. V-series agents include VX; these compounds were synthesized after World War II.
All nerve agents are organophosphorus esters, as are organophosphate pesticides. However, nerve agents are far more potent; the LD50 (the amount required to cause death in half of people receiving that dose) of VX is approximately 3 mg.
At room temperature, G agents are watery liquids with high volatilities and pose both skin-contact and inhalational hazards. VX is a liquid with the consistency of motor oil and that evaporates relatively slowly. None of these agents has a pronounced odor or causes local skin irritation.
Fourth-generation agents are nerve agents created after the development of VX. Much information about them remains classified. They include the A-series agents, or Novichok compounds, which are low-volatility nerve agents even more persistent than VX. One of the A agents was used in a 2018 assassination attempt in the United Kingdom.

Ionizing radiation is discussed in detail elsewhere (see Radiation Exposure and Contamination). Mass casualties due to ionizing radiation can result from the detonation of a nuclear (fission) or a thermonuclear (fusion) device, from the contamination of conventional explosives with radioactive material (such a weapon is called a radiation dispersal device, or a dirty bomb), or from placement (eg, under a subway seat) of a concealed point source of radiation.
Radiation exposure may involve

Contamination (external or internal)
Irradiation
Both

Contamination is contact with radioactive material, typically as a dust or liquid. Irradiation is exposure to ionizing radiation but not radioactive material.
In cases of the deliberate use of radiation as a weapon, it must be determined whether patients have been exposed (irradiated), contaminated, or both. If contamination has occurred, determination of whether it is external, internal, or both is needed. Use of the ASBESTOS acronym (see table ASBESTOS*: Secondary Assessment of Mass Casualties Due to Chemical or Radiological Weapons) is helpful in making these determinations. Another useful clinical resource is the online and downloadable module, Radiation Emergency Medical Management (REMM).
(See also Overview of Incidents Involving Mass-Casualty Weapons.)

Vitiation refers to the action of spoiling, impairing, corrupting or making something ineffective, typically in the context of legal contracts or agreements. A contract, for instance, can be vitiated if there was a mistake, misrepresentation or fraud involved in its formation, rendering it invalid or unenforceable. In broader terms, vitiation can also refer to the process of corruption or degradation.
