Chemistry for Everyone
Weapons of Mass Destruction: It Is All about Chemistry
Jessica Epstein
Department of Chemistry, Saint Peters College, Jersey City, NJ 07306
Cover
December 2009
Vol. 86 No. 12
p. 1377
Abstract
Discussion about weapons of mass destruction (WMD) has increased since so many saw the World Trade Towers collapse. The term evokes anxiety, political debate, and ethical concerns. But, what are WMD and how do the work? The topics involved with WMD touch many areas of chemistry, including general chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. A discussion of WMD can be brought into the classroom in many subjects. These subjects correlate with the curriculum and stimulate students to engage with chemistry content.
