CX Nature:
Phosgene oxime (CX) is a colorless liquid or solid with a disagreeable odor. It is a urticant/nettle gas whose primary sites of action are the skin, eyes and upper respiratory system. The mechanism of action of CX is not completely understood, but its toxicity is probably mediated via binding to sulfhydryl and the NH2 group, and it is no longer considered a major chemical threat.
