Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Explain why Tabun is considered less effective, as compared to other nerve agents

Concept Introduction:Nerve poison, also referred to as nerve agents or nerve gases, are chemicals that act on the nervous system. They damage the mechanism of the human body by which nerves transfer signals to various organs. This damage is caused by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase which results in the breakdown of a neurotransmitter, acetylcholine. Popular nerve poisons are Tabun, Sarin, Soman.

Symptoms of nerve poisoning are as follows:

  1. Profuse salivation
  2. Involuntary urination
  3. Convulsions
  4. Construction of pupil
  5. Defecation
