•Over 1,800 TICs are used, stored, and transported on the world's road and
rail systems;
•Central and peripheral acting;
•Used extensively during WW1, IEDs in Iraq, ISIS, and suspected use by
Syria;
•Designed to impede a victim's ability to breathe, by causing a build-up of
fluids in the lungs, which often leads to suffocation;
•Death is more frequent when they are inhaled; and
•Non-CW application would be the burning of plastics or metals, enclosed
space fires.
