Apr 11, 2014 · VX (Nerve Agent) is a highly toxic chemical warfare agent that is more persistent and toxic than other nerve agents like sarin, causing death through various routes of exposure such as inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact.

Apr 30, 2019 · Agent VX is an amber-colored liquid with a vapor density of 9.2, and is considered odorless. Thus, nerve agent vapors possess little to no olfactory warning properties (Table 8.1). Table 8.1. Physical and chemical properties of organophosphorous nerve agents.

Aug 20, 2020 · Another organophosphate nerve agent, VX, is the most potent chemical warfare agent; a single droplet of VX on the skin can be fatal. VX exists solely as a liquid with a low vapor pressure and volatility, making spontaneous evaporation highly unlikely. 11 However, it is well absorbed through the skin.

Feb 1, 2021 · VX is a representative nerve agent and its rapid detoxification relays on the development of catalysts and understanding of the mechanism on an atomic level. Herein, we report that a Lindqvist-type [Nb 6 O 19] 8− (Nb 6) can effectively catalyze the detoxification of VX simulant, OSDEMP.

Feb 1, 2022 · We quantify the adsorption of the organophosphate venomous agent X (VX) on the clean and hydroxylated (101) surfaces of anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2…

Oct 1, 2020 · Nerve agents such as sarin (GB), soman (GD), tabun (GA), and VX are highly toxic organophosphorus compounds and strongly inhibit the activity of cholinesterase [1]. They are classified as chemical warfare agents, and their production, …

Jan 1, 2009 · This chapter describes the chemistry, analysis, toxicity, monitoring, and regulatory hygiene, and therapy of Russian VX nerve agent. One of the most a…

Dec 16, 2021 · Because novichok agents are extremely toxic, we used theoretical calculations to study their hydrolysis reactions. We performed calculations under basic conditions and compared the results with those of conventional nerve agents. In most cases, the novichok agents behaved more like VX than sarin.

Feb 25, 2016 · VX and its six other isomers which are potentially nerve agents with molecular weight of 267 were synthesized and their EI and CI MS spectra were studied. Although the major ions in the mass spectra for these isomers are similar, these chemicals could be distinguished based on some low abundance characteristic ions.

Development of a molecularly imprinted polymer-based electrochemical sensor for the selective detection of nerve agent VX metabolite ethyl methylphosphonic acid in human plasma and urine samples
