Terrorism: Biological Weapons

Provides response guidelines for suspectedbiological terrorism incidents. This programis designed for both emergency response andmedical emergency management personnel. Itfocuses on three different scenarios: (1)Intelligence agencies uncover the probabilityof a known threat and responders are calledout to support the operations of the agencies;(2) A device is actually discovered, eitherprior to or following a release; and (3) anattack goes unrecognized until a number ofvictims develop symptoms.Four major categories of biological agents 

Profiles the four classes of chemical agents:lethal agents (including both nerve agents andblood agents); blister agents; choking agents;and incapacitating agents. Within each class,the program discusses properties and examinesthe mechanics by which the agent causes harm.Symptoms of both mild and severe exposuresare described. Warning signs and indicators ofa chemical attack are described. The programtells how emergency responders can protectthemselves against contamination and how todecontaminate victims, equipment and respon-ders. Procedures for mass decon are alsodepicted.
