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 ...
