Here is the CWC Schedule II: https://www.opcw.org/chemical-weapons-convention/annexes/annex-on-chemicals/schedule-2/ https://www.opcw.org/chemical-weapons-convention/annexes/ann.... Notice an alcohol appears on the list, while organophosphates appear on Schedule I. Both are controlled.
- scottie_m 9y ago“An alcohol” Is doing a lot of work in that sentence. Ethanol is an alcohol, enjoy a lovely drink. Methanol is an alcohol, try not to to drink it. Alcohol is an incredibly broad family and the scheduled substance (Pinacolyl alcohol: 3,3-Dimethylbutan-2-ol) is not isopropyl alcohol. It’s not even close. It’s also not a precursor to sarin, but soman. Notice that isopropanol isn’t scheduled at all, so I feel justified in asking if you were just confused or trying to be sneaky? Oh and by the way, most alcohol hand sanitizers are 70% isopropyl alcohol, not ethanol.
