Published 2011 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 1 ORGANOPHOSPHORUS NERVE AGENT TOXICITY The toxicity of organophosphorus nerve agents has been well documented [1–3]. Following the discovery of the synthetic procedure in the 1850s, the Germans were the first to produce organophosphorus nerve agents on a large scale, in the late 1930s [4]. Considered the most toxic of all chemical warfare agents (CWAs), the first reported use of organophosphorus nerve agents [Tabun (GA) and Sarin (GB)] was by Iraq against Iran during the first Gulf War and also against Kurdish rebels [4].
