Nerve agents are organophosphorus compounds. Nerve agents are caused by an accidental release or terrorist attack. Symptoms includes abdominal pain, rhinorrhea, excessive salivation, and seizures.

Organophosphorus compounds are used in the production of pesticides, insecticides, nerve agents, and flame retardants. Some common products derived from organophosphorus compounds include malathion, sarin gas, and flame-retardant materials.

Organophosphorus nerve agents inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, leading to an accumulation of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the synapses. This results in overstimulation of cholinergic receptors, causing a range of symptoms such as muscle twitching, respiratory failure, convulsions, and potentially death. Exposure can also lead to long-term neurological damage and other chronic health issues. The severity of effects depends on the dose and route of exposure.
Some products made from organophosphorus compounds include pesticides, herbicides, and nerve agents. These compounds are commonly used in agriculture to protect crops from pests and weeds, as well as in chemical warfare.
The Nerve Agents - EP - was created in 1998-05.
Nerve agents affect the transmission of nerve impulses in your nervous system. Nerve agents can affect the central nervous system, the respiratory system as well as cholinergic nervous system.
