Hazardous Materials Code of Virginia Title 44-146.34 -substance or materials which may pose unreasonable risks to health, safety,
property, or the environment when used, transported, stored, or disposed of, which
may include materials which are solid, liquid, or gas.
Weapon of Mass Destruction United States Code 18 USC -any weapon designed or intended to cause death or serious bodily injury through
2332a the release, dissemination, or impact of toxic or poisonous chemicals, or their
precursors;
-any weapon involving a biological agent, toxin, or vector;
-any weapon that is designed to release radiation or radioactivity at a level
dangerous to human life.
Weapon of Terrorism Code of Virginia Title 18.2-46.4 Any device or material that is designed, intended, or used to cause death, bodily
