'''G-Series''' | '''G-Series''' | ||
The nerve agents within the G-series were first created in the 1930's. They received their name from the group of German chemists, headed by Gerhard Schrader, who first synthesized them. The nerve agents that make up the G series are tabun (more commonly known as GA), soman (GD), cyclosarin (GF) and sarin (GB). Schrader and his team of chemists initially manufactured tabun (GA) in 1936, and shortly followed up with the creation of sarin (GB) in 1938. Afterwards, in 1944, soman (GD)came to existence along with cyclosarin (GF) in 1949. All nerve agents in the G-series are considered nonpersistent, which means that they are unable to exist for extended amounts of time under natural conditions. <ref>http://www.thefreedictionary.com/nonpersistent nonpersitent.
