Talk:Blood agent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This statement isn't accurate: "(Blood agents) prevent the normal transfer of oxygen from the blood to the body tissues, resulting in chemical asphyxiation. This statement isn't quite accurate: blood agents (and cyanide in general) act by inhibiting cellular respiration by interruping the electron transfer chain during oxidative phosphorylation. I'll make the change when I have time (and more details), but is somebody beats me to this I won't be entirely opposed.
[edit] Use
I heard somewhere that blood agents were used by Iran in the Iran - Iraq war, does anyone know if this is true? raptor 02:19, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
