Soman ingestion

Nerve agent Chemical agent inhaled, absorbed through the skin, or ingested that causes interference with the neural synapses and overstimulation of the nervous system, which in turn leads to overreactivity in the muscles and malfunctioning of various organs. The primary agents are tabun, sarin, soman, and VX. [Pg.24]

Casualties are caused primarily by inhalation but can occur following percutaneous and ocular exposure, as well as by ingestion and injection. Soman mixes easily with water, and people could be exposed by drinking contaminated water or via dermal contact with contaminated water. People could be exposed by eating contaminated food. Clothing can release soman for 30 min, which could lead to exposure of other people. Soman vapor is heavier than air, and can sink to low-lying areas. [Pg.2458]
