It produced works of painting, writing, theatre, filmmaking, photography, and other media as well.
Tabun is an extremely toxic compound of the organophosphate family. It is not present in nature. At room temperature, the pure compound presents itself as a clear and viscous liquid. However, impurities imparted during its manufacture are almost always present in some amount, turning it into a yellow or brown liquid. Exposed to environs, it slowly volatizes into the atmosphere, with the vapor having a slight fruity or almond-like odor. As the compound has a much higher molecular mass compared to air, Tabun gas tends to accumulate in low-lying areas.
