Sarin has a high volatility (ease with which a liquid can turn into vapour) relative to similar nerve agents, making inhalation very easy, and may even absorb through the skin. A person's clothing can release sarin for about 30 minutes after it has come in contact with sarin gas, which can lead to exposure of other people. [9]

2024年9月6日 · Exposure to large doses of sarin by any type of exposure would likely cause the following harmful health effects: If sarin is in the air, people can be exposed through skin or eye contact, or breathing in the sarin gas. Because sarin vapor is heavier than air, it will sink to low-lying areas and increase the risk of exposure there.

2019年12月2日 · Exposure to even a small amount of Sarin may be fatal, yet treatments are available that may prevent permanent neurological damage and death. Here's a look at how it works and how exposure to Sarin is treated. Sarin is an organophosphate nerve gas—a type of chemical weapon.

2024年11月21日 · We know that exposure to sarin can result in death, or short-term health effects including seizures, paralysis, and difficulty breathing within 24 hours of exposure. In contrast, long-term health effects of sarin exposure could be observed days, weeks, or …

Sarin (military designation GB) is a nerve agent that is one of the most toxic of the known chemical warfare agents. It is generally odorless and tasteless. Exposure to sarin can cause death in minutes.

Long-term effects after exposure to OP nerve agents. Years after exposure to sarin, victims of the Tokyo subway attack presented with significant declines in psychomotor and memory functions, 46,47 signifying long-term cognitive impairment.

2019年1月21日 · Experimental studies in rats found consistent sarin-related effects on learning and memory that were apparent for days, weeks, and months after sarin exposure. The evidence from human studies for effects on learning and memory during the initial period is inadequate.

Its acute effects are primarily due to unrestricted cholinergic activity at both muscarinic and nicotinic receptors. Treatment is based on the use of large doses of atropine and pralidoxime which may lead to practical problems of sufficient drug supplies for the average hospital.

2018年11月14日 · Individuals who are exposed to high levels of sarin (for example, levels that results in acute symptoms) may experience long term neurological side effects. These include headaches, fatigue, visual disturbances, memory difficulties, and symptoms of PTSD.

2018年10月25日 · Sarin is a highly toxic nerve agent that was developed for chemical warfare during World War II and is used in present conflicts. Immediate effects of acute sarin exposure are established; however, whether effects persist after initial signs have ...
