--
Nerve agents (also known as
nerve gases, though these
chemicals are liquid at room
temperature) are a class of
phosphorus-containing organic
chemicals (organophosphates)
that disrupt the mechanism by
which nerves transfer messages
to organs. The disruption is
caused by blocking
acetylcholinesterase, an
enzyme that normally relaxes
the activity of acetylcholine,
a neurotransmitter. As
chemical weapons, they are
classified as weapons of mass
destruction by the United
Nations according to UN
Resolution 687, and their
production and stockpiling was
outlawed by the Chemical
Weapons Convention of 1993;
the Chemical Weapons
Convention officially took
effect on April 29, 1997. [1]
Poisoning by a nerve agent
leads to contraction of
pupils, profuse salivation,
convulsions, involuntary
urination and defecation, and
eventual death by asphyxiation
as control is lost over
respiratory muscles. Some
nerve agents are readily
vaporized or aerosolized and
the primary portal of entry
into the body is the
respiratory system. Nerve
agents can also be absorbed
through the skin, requiring
that those likely to be
subjected to such agents wear
a full body suit in addition
to a respirator.
