What will be an ideal response?


• Biological weapons are living organisms such as bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms such as anthrax that cause disease and death.
• Chemical weapons are manufactured for the purpose of causing harm or death. They can be inhaled or ingested, and they can seep into the body though the skin or eyes.
• The destructive force of nuclear weapons is caused by the massive release of heat and energy that accompanies their detonation and releases radiation.
• Radiological material destroys human cells, and exposure to high levels of radiation can lead to immediate death. Exposure to lower levels of radiation is also dangerous, greatly increasing the risk of long-term health problems such as cancer.
