I'm afraid not - goon squads around the world still has tons of chemical weapons for use against pesky protests. And then we're not talking about all the toxic stuff they use during colonialist wars under the thin pretext of "defoliants"...
You don't even have to have nefarious intentions. Chlorine gas is a perfectly normal industrial chemical, but simply dropping a few tanks over a trench system turns it into a chemical weapon.
