The neutralized nerve agent would be typically much safer than most chemicals currently transported.

VX Nerve Agent (O-ethyl S-(2-diisopropylaminoethyl) methylphosphonothioate) can be neutralized with ordinary water (approximately 10% volume) and burned in a commercial incinerator without releasing HEAVY METALS to the environment, and once neutralized, there really is NO LONGER any chemical agent.

By the way it is not "nerve gas", it is a liquid.

Thank you for a scientific presentation of the facts. There is so much liberal, hysterical garbage presented as fact, it is great to hear from someone who knows whereof they speak.

Yeah, but 'nerve vapor' hasn't got much of a ring to it! (Vapor pessure 2.9 mmHg @ STP)

Sarin is composed of four ingredients: Phosphrous trichloride, sodium flouride, isopropyl alcohol, acetonitrile (Neifert, 1997).

Can you guess the topic for my Industrial Toxicology class in grad school?
