After 1970, preparations to produce biological weapons appear to have continued on one side only. The principal biological agents known with reasonable certainty to have entered the process of weaponization during the Cold War are identified in Chapter 3 and described in Annex 3. The biological weapons developed ranged from devices for clandestine use by special forces to those designed for large guided missiles or heavy bomber aircraft capable of generating large clouds of aerosol inhabited by live causative agents of contagious disease intended for far-distant rear targets, or of noncontagious disease for closer targets.
Pyrotechnic dissemination is effective only for heat-resistant 3. BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL AGENTS * 37 and non-combustible agents, which may evaporate initially and then condense as a suspension in air of inhalable particles, creating principally a respiratory or conjunctival hazard. For infective agents, the principal hazard to people will be from inhalation. This may be so even for agents for which this is not the natural route of infection. For many infective agents, the risk is greatest if the agent reaches the target population in the form of particles within the narrow aerodynamic size range where particles are small enough to penetrate to the alveoli in the depths of the lungs but not so small that most of them fail to be deposited and instead are mostly exhaled.
It defined chemicalwarfare agents as including “all substances employed for their toxic effects on man, animals and plants”, and biological-warfare agents as those “that depend for their effects on multiplication within the target organism, and that are intended for use in war to cause disease or death in man, animals or plants”. The treaty negotiators had, however, to devise definitions that used a broader approach, since they were aiming to control technologies that were often dual-use in character, in other words that could be used both in warfare and for peaceful purposes.
