nerve gas
Inhaled warfare agent
Nerve gas is a chemical weapon that attacks the nervous system, causing paralysis and death.
These agents—including sarin, VX, and tabun—can be absorbed through skin or inhaled, making them devastating in warfare and terrorism.
The Tokyo subway attack used sarin nerve gas.
Despite international bans, nerve gas remains stockpiled by some nations.
