First sentence: Diisopropyl methylphosphonate (DIMP) is a by-product produced during the manufacture of the nerve gas isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate (GB or Sarin), and it constitutes about 2 to 3% of the crude GB product (Rosenblatt et al., 1975a) but is neither a metabolite nor a degradation product of GB.
