German scientists knew Sarin as GB, classified it among G-series chemical weapons, and the United Nations prefers this term. The chemical formula of the sarin is the C4H10FO2P, which makes it a member of the fosfine. It interferes with the production and enzyme cholinesterase, which normally allows the muscles to relax after being infected. However, it is very fast and has a short life for only a few weeks; Most devices, toThey produce and work with it, so they maintain basic chemicals, rather than Sarin's reserves. A strong alkali is used to destroy the chemical.
