Chemical agents may be classified persistent, nonpersistent and dusty. Threat forces classify chemical
agents according to their effect on the body. They identify six major types--nerve, blood, blister,
choking, psychochemical, and irritants.
Persistent chemical agents are used to produce casualties (immediate or delayed). Immediate casualties occur when a person inhales the vapor. Delayed casualtiesoccur and is absorbed through the skin demonstrating the need for protective equipment.
