when was sarin released in gulf war
A long term study of soldiers exposed to sarin & cyclosarin during the first Gulf War (1991) indicated that exposure was significantly associated with less proficient neurobehavioral functioning on tasks involving fine psychomotor dexterity and visuospatial abilities 4â5 years after exposure (Proctor et al, 2007).
He has not been directly involved in the investigation of this outbreak. Sarin is a type of nerve gas that was developed by the Germans in 1938 prior to World War II, originally for use as a pesticide. Chemical nerve agents like Sarin use concentrated amounts of pesticides called organophosphates.ven with treatment, there may still be long-term effects for survivors of a nerve gas attack. Some of the thousands injured in a 1995 Sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway still experience respiratory and neurological effects that linger to this day, according to Spaeth.
