what is meant by sarin?

Gandalf has the correct answer -- Sarin (also know by the military chemical acronym GB), is an organophosphate ester.  The more correct (and descriptive) chemical name is: isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate.\n\nSarin was one of the nerve agents discovered by German chemists before and during the Second World War.  It is extremely toxic (LD50 = 0.42 mg/kg of body mass), and interferes with the transmission of nerve impulses that control muscular action.\n\nAtropine is part of the treatment which helps one to survive exposure to anticholinesterase agents, but the antidote is a compound called pralidoxime chloride (or 2-PAM chloride).

International Units. These units would be standardized measurements for the amount of a substance -whatever it is they refer to. They are things like vitamins and such that require both a qualitative and quantitative measurement to have meaning. An excellent description is referenced below.

I am not sure of the origin of the word, but dressing implies finishing something.\nA dressed animal is one that has been at least partially prepared after slaughter. A hunter will field dress a deer or other larger animal by gutting it to help the carcass cool. \nI think American and Canandian governments have differing definitions for poultry, but generally it means plucked, gutted and drained of blood.\nAt home the chicken can be "dressed" with stuffing before cooking

I have never heard of toxicology, nor have I ever known or leared anything of it.  But just from the words it is derived from, and my expansive knowledge of etemology, (the study of words and their latin basis/origin), I could tell you what it is, but have I little knowledge of it.  Toxi as in toxin, or toxics: dangerous chemicals that dangerously effect our vitals, and ology, or log: the study of something.  Like when you log information on a profile.  Or logy as in Biology the study of, bio: life.  Meaning, it is the study of toxins or dangerous chemicals.  What it may be about are, well it's obvious,  the toxins we know of, and how they effect a certain variable.  One, for example, being humans. In conclusion, toxicology and what it's about, is the study of discovered and existing toxins, and how they work in biological makeup of a physical body, or possibly the ecosystem.

Ok let me see..I could play the tapes they played to get Noriega...or hit you with some mustard or phosgene gas...hmmm well hitler was gassed a couple of times and although he had nerve gas he never used it...Gas has an added effect as it IS a psychlogical weapon. Even the threat of gas wears you out mentally. Ever been in MOPP 4 in the summer??Hmm Id take Tokyo Rose over Sarin anyday.

Both.  The kinetics of it depend on the nerve gas.  Some nerve gasses are extremely potent, irreversibly deactivating some life-critical enzymes.  Sarin, for example, deactivates acetylcholinesterase -- the enzyme that controls transmission between your nerves and muscles.  Respiratory failure is the cause of death.  Other toxic gasses choke up the enzymes involved in cell respiration, so you asphyxiate even as you breathe.

"up in arms", this expression comes from the Spanish "levantados en armas" is the expression we use to name the rebellious people.  I don't know if you have heard the word "guerrilla ", is a person who fight against the soldiers and kill citizen without any reason.  These groups are dangerous for the Country, they go against our laws and try to do their own laws. \nI hope this help you to understand this
