Casualties/personnel: Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Remove as much of the agent from the skin as fast as possible without spreading the material. Wash the entire potentially exposed area with a bleach solution avoiding contact with sensitive areas such as the eyes. The bleach solution should be no less than one part household bleach in nine parts water. Rinse with copious amounts of water. In all cases, clothing should be removed because it may contain “trapped” liquid or vapor. Small Areas: Puddles of liquid must be contained by covering with vermiculite, diatomaceous earth, clay, fine sand, sponges, paper towels or cloth towels.
Nerve Agents disrupt the function of the nervous system by interfering with the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. The major effects will be on skeletal muscles, some organs, and the central nervous system. These compounds are similar to, but much more deadly than, agricultural organophosphate pesticides. , breaks in the skin or penetration of skin by debris). Exposure Hazards: Human toxicity data for the “GV” series Nerve Agents has not been published or has not been established. However, “GV” Nerve Agents combine attributes of both the “G” series (see Class Index C01) and the “V” series (see Class Index C02).
Liquid agents can also be thickened with various substances to increase their persistency and percutaneous hazard. When thickened, agents have a consistency similar to honey. Conversely, various solvents can be added to dilute the agents. Solvents may also dramatically increase the rate that agents penetrate the skin. Persistency: All unthickened “V” series Nerve Agents are classified as persistent. Evaporation rates ranging from near that of light machine oil up to that of motor oil. Thickened agents last significantly longer.
