The world's top ten most toxic chemicals and
First, our premise is to exclude radioactive items, such as 5 grams of plutonium, which can kill everyone in the world with its radioactivity, and Polonium 210 is 100 billion times more toxic than cyanide. Second, there are millions of toxic substances in the world, and here are just a few of the most famous.
Number 10, cyanide.
In fact, when it comes to toxicity, cyanide is not even in the top 50, but since only the famous ones are discussed here, andcyanideIt is the most lethal poison. So count it as the 10th.
Representative: Hydrocyanic acid, potassium cyanide
Toxicity: One gram can kill 500 people

Most high-ranking officials in Nazi Germany used it to commit suicide, and a little bit of nail covering could kill a person in a few seconds, known as lightning poison.
No. 9, Poison Rat Strong
How to use: (Ingestion or inhalation)
Poison Rat Strong: Also known as No Rat Life, Four Two Four, Three Steps Down, Smell Death,
Chemical Name: Tetramethylene Disulfone Tetramine
English name: Tetramine; Tetramethylene Disulfotetramine
Tetramethylene disulfone tetraammonia is a tasteless, odorless, and highly toxic powder. The common Chinese name is "poison rat strong", which is extremely toxic. As a neurotoxin, TETS can cause fatal convulsions, and its effect is similar to that of tetramethylenetin. It is one of the most dangerous rodenticides
Toxicity: TETS is 100 times more toxic than potassium cyanide

Few people would have thought that this stuff was so poisonous. It was bought everywhere a few years ago, but since the big poisoning incident in Nanjing, production and sales have been banned across the country.
Number eight, nicotine.
Toxicity: slightly stronger than tetramine
Source: Cigarettes, it is said that tobacco leaves are usedchemical reagentProcessing can be done.
Number seven, king cobra venom.
In fact, some venomous snakes are more venomous, such as the Australian sea snake, but we will only discuss the common and famous ones
Toxicity: One gram can kill 15,000 people, 30 times more than cyanide
Source: Stuck the king cobra's fangs on the edge of the cup, and the venom will flow into the cup. The most venomous snakes of prestige are probably green bamboo and rattlesnakes
Number six, ricin.
Toxicity: 7 mg lethal dose in adults
Ricinus communus (Ricinus communus), also known as hemp, kenaf, etc., is a castor plant in the Euphorbiaceae family. It has a long history of castor cultivation and is one of the top ten oil crops in the world. It is extracted from castor seeds. Ricin can cause respiratory and body organ failure, causing death within a few hours. Sometimes, chewing a small amount of castor seeds can be fatal.
This is a very famous poison, which is often used by spies from various countries such as 007, KGB, CIA, etc
Toxicity: Ricin is a very toxic toxin, 70 micrograms is enough to kill, its toxicity is 70 times that of cyanide, which means that one gram can kill 35,000 people
Source: It can be made with high-purity alcohol and lead acetate, and a professional pharmacist can work it out.
The above are for chemical weapons, but they are not poisonous enough! Let's move to the top 5, which are poisonous enough to be chemical weapons
No. 5, Acacia Toxin
"Red beans are born in the southern country, and this thing is the most acacia." The red beans mentioned in the ancient poem are also called acacia beans, and the toxins contained in them are super terrifying. Not only is the toxicity violent, but the poisoned person will fester and die of internal organs.
Toxicity: The lethal dose ingested by adults is less than 0.01 grams, and its toxicity is more than 70 times that of ricin. Acacia toxin is one of the most toxic plant toxins currently known, and has been listed as a potentially important toxin warfare agent and one of the bioterrorism pathogens.
Source: Acacia seed toxin is a highly toxic polymer protein toxin extracted from the seeds of Acacia seeds of legumes, and its content accounts for about 2.8% to 3.0% of the seeds.
Number four, sarin.
How to use: (Inhalation)
Sarin, scientific name isopropyl meflodronate,
The English name Sarin can paralyze the central nervous system.
Chemical formula: (CH3) 2CHOOPF (CH3),
It is a commonly used military poison and is classified as a nerve agent according to its harmful effects.
A lethal gas hundreds of times more potent than cyanide, a small inhale can cause foaming at the mouth, a coma, and death. Originally used as an insecticide, sarin was outlawed in 1997.
Toxicity: A single drop of sarin the size of the eye of a needle can kill an adult very quickly.
Tragedy: Victims die of asphyxiation due to muscle atrophy in the lungs, with symptoms such as convulsions, foaming at the mouth and blurred vision. Nazi Germany invented the poison during World War II but did not use it. Saddam used the colorless and odorless poison against the Kurds of northern Iraq in the 1980s. The sarin gas case made by Aum Shinrikyo in Japan was the first terrorist act in the world to use chemical weapons.
The production method of sarin: methoxyphosphorus dichloride reacts with hydrogen fluoride to obtain methoxyphosphorus dichloride, and reacts with methoxyphosphorus dichloride and isopropanol to obtain sarin.
Number three, VX neurotoxin.
A tablespoon of VX toxin evaporated in the air, and everyone in the nearby 8 streets died. After watching the movie "Brave to the Island", you know how terrifying this thing is. Iraq has used it in wars in the past.
Number two, anthrax.
Main symptoms: malignant edema, breathing difficulties, abdominal pain, diarrhea
Main cause: Bacterial infection
Contagious: contagious
Anthrax (anthrax) comes from the ancient Greek word "anthrakos". It means coal. Anthrax is an acute zoonotic infectious disease caused by Bacillus anthracis. It is mainly caused by herbivores coming into contact with native spores. Anthrax spores are highly toxic, easily accessible, easy to preserve, high potential, low visibility, and easy to send. They have been used as a biological weapon and terrorist act by some countries.
The United States has been studying for decades, preparing for a biological war with the Soviet Union. As long as 5 gallons are sown over New York, there will be 500,000 corpses in 3 days. Humans are really talented in creating destruction.
Toxicity: To cause mass destruction in an area of 100 square kilometers requires 4 tons of ricin, but only one kilogram of anthrax toxin spores is required for the same area.
Source: Anthrax toxin is produced by an uncommon large bacterium, Bacillus tobacco.
No. 1, King of Poison, Botulinum Toxin
The most poisonous thing in the world record,
How to use: (intake)
Botulinum toxin is a bacterium that grows in a hypoxic environment. It has strong survival ability in canned food and sealed pickled food, and is one of the most toxic toxins at present. Botulinum toxin is a deadly bacterium that secretes toxins during reproduction and is one of the most toxic proteins.
The army often uses this toxin for biological weapons. When people ingest and absorb this toxin, the nervous system will be damaged, causing symptoms such as dizziness, breathing difficulties and muscle weakness.
Toxicity: One gram can kill 12 million
