Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) — Sarin gas is a colourless, tasteless and odorless liquid with the ability to convert from a liquid to a gaseous state. When it evaporates and spreads in the environment, people may be exposed to sarin through skin or eye contact or inhalation, and it can be mixed with water or food.
