What is it?
VX, considered one of the most lethal chemical
weapons, is a colourless and odourless liquid that turns into a gas on contact with oxygen.
How does it work?
VX is primarily toxic through the skin, but can also
prove fatal when inhaled. VX is fast-moving, virtually undetectable, and can spread through air as well as water. In its liquid state, it is roughly the same density as water. It blocks the transmission of impulses along the central nervous system, causing convulsions, respiratory paralysis, and death.
Lethal amount?
10 mg (just a drop)
Symptoms?
Increased salivation, coughing, runny nose,
headache and nausea.
How Can You Protect Yourself?
Gas mask, protective clothing
