Chemical agents are typically classified based on their health effects, mode of exposure, and chemical structure. The main categories include:
Corrosive agents: Substances that can destroy or damage tissues, such as acids and bases. Toxic agents: Chemicals that can cause systemic damage or death, like carcinogens and neurotoxins. Flammable agents: Substances that can easily ignite and cause fires or explosions. Reactive agents: Chemicals that can undergo violent reactions, often releasing energy rapidly.
