Nerve agent: Difference between revisions

==Nerve agents== are extremely deadly and harmful chemical agents. They include three classifications, including the V Series, the G Series, and the Novichok Agents. In both liquid and gaseous states they can be extremely potent. In both animals and humans nerve agents can cause a loss of consciousness, convulsions, lack of breathing, loss of control over muscles, and death. Originally created to serve as insecticides, German chemists quickly realized their full potential and the German government began to stockpile the chemical weapons in World War II. Today, they are regulated through the Chemical Weapons Convention, or the CWC.<ref>[http://toxipedia.org/display/toxipedia/Nerve+Agents Nerve Agents] ''toxipedia''. Web. Accessed May 27, 2013.
