(CNN) — Hazardous material teams are investigating the possible presence of the nerve agent sarin at a Facebook mailing facility in Menlo Park, California, authorities said Monday.

No employees have been exposed to the clear, colorless, tasteless and odorless man-made nerve agent, said Menlo Park Fire Marshal Jon Johnston said.

An item sent through one of the Menlo Park facility's mail scanning machines tested positive for sarin, according to Johnston, He said it could be a false positive and other testing is necessary to confirm the result.

Testing to confirm, but Sarin is not difficult to make. The subway attack in Tokyo, 1995, was homemade, by members of Aum.
