Do chemical agents have any legitimate, practical uses?
Chemicals that are closely related to chemical weapons do have legitimate uses. Some nerve agents, for example, are similar to some insecticides and to medications that treat the disease myasthenia gravis. A byproduct of sulfar mustard is a long-time cancer chemotherapy drug. Chlorine and phosgene are also common industrial compounds.
