Chemical compound
Bromobenzyl cyanide (BBC), also known in the military idiom as camite (CA), is an obsolete lachrymatory agent[1] introduced in World War I by the Allied Powers, being a standard agent, along with chloroacetophenone, adopted by the CWS.[2] When implemented in World War I, it revolutionized the use of tear agents due to their extreme potency. BBC is toxic like chlorine gas.[3]
