This volume examines military chemical agents that were developed for their lethal effects and includes chapters on nerve agents, vesicants, urticants, convulsants, blood agents, and pulmonary agents. It also details toxic industrial materials that are considered potential threat for use as improvised agents.
In addition to a discussion of each of these classes of agents, coverage includes detailed information on a broad spectrum of individual agents that have been used on the battlefield, stockpiled as weapons, used or threatened to be used by terrorists, or have been otherwise assessed by qualified law enforcement and response organizations and determined to be agents of significant concern
The information presented in this edition has been updated and expanded; containing more information on toxicology, health effects, chemical and physical properties of individual agents, as well as protective actions needed at the scene of an incident.
Key Features:
- Focuses on key information needed during an emergency response
- Provides updated toxicology, exposure hazards, physical-chemical data, and best practices with regard to the treatment of casualties
- Presents updated protective action distances, decontamination, and remediation information
All data compiled is gathered from numerous sources and arranged into the current, easy-to-access format. In order to ensure accuracy, all data has been cross-checked over the widest variety of military, scientific and medical sources available.
