Nerve agent synthesis

Nerve agent synthesis involves chemical processes that create highly toxic compounds designed to disrupt the nervous system. Typically, it involves combining specific chemical precursors through controlled reactions to produce agents like sarin or VX. These processes require specialized knowledge, equipment, and controlled conditions to ensure safety and precision. Due to their extreme lethality and potential misuse, developing or manufacturing nerve agents is strictly regulated and prohibited under international law. Understanding these processes underscores the importance of global efforts to prevent the proliferation and use of such chemical weapons.
