Nerve agents: emergency preparedness [PDF]
BMJ Military Health, 2020 Nerve agents (NAs) are a highly toxic group of chemical warfare agents. NAs are organophosphorus esters with varying physical and chemical properties depending on the individual agent. The most recently developed class of NA is‘Novichok’, the existence of which was first revealed in the early 1990s, just before Russia signed the Chemical Weapons ...

Nerve Agents and Their Detection [PDF]
Journal of Sensor Science and Technology, 2014 Nerve agents are major chemical warfare agents with the “G series” and “V series” being the most widely known because of their lethal effect. Although not conspicuously used in major wars, the potential detrimental impact on modern society had been revealed from the sarin terror attack on Tokyo subway, which affected thousands of people.
