VX is the most potent of all nerve agents. [It] is the least volatile of the nerve agents, which means that it is the slowest to evaporate from a liquid into a vapor. Therefore, VX is very persistent in the environment. ... Because it evaporates so slowly, VX can be a long-term threat as well as a short-term threat. [VX is primarily a liquid exposure hazard.] 6, record 3, English, - methylphosphonothioic%20acid%20S%2D%5B2%2D%5Bbis%281%2Dmethylethyl%29amino%5Dethyl%5D%20O%2Dethyl%20ester
