Civilians chemical warfare agent threats

Weapons Convention forbidding the development, production, stockpiling and the use of chemical warfare agents, the world has seen a rapid proliferation of such agents. They pose potential neurotoxic threat to both military and civilian populations as evidenced in recent terroristic attacks (5) as well as occupational hazard to individuals exposed to organophosphorus insecticides (OPI). 

Despite this great success, recent events have demonstrated the continuing threat of chemical warfare agents. The repeated homicidal use of the chemical warfare nerve agent sarin in Syria in 2013, the suspected perpetual use of chlorine in Syria and most recently supposed attacks with sulphur mustard in Syria and Iraq illustrate the capacity and intent to deploy chemical warfare agents against military units and civilians.
