Nerve Agent Precursors

Nerve agent precursors are chemical substances that can be transformed into toxic nerve agents, which are designed to disrupt the nervous system. These precursors are often less harmful and can be used in legitimate industrial applications. However, their potential for conversion into deadly nerve agents raises concerns for safety and security. Monitoring and controlling these chemicals is essential to prevent their misuse in chemical warfare or terrorism. In summary, nerve agent precursors are the building blocks that can lead to the production of dangerous chemical weapons if they fall into the wrong hands.
