Vector
Contamination

26
Q

What are the 3 routes of entry?

A

Inhalation
Injection
Ingestion

27
Q

What is the general information and characteristics of anthrax?

A

Spread by bacteria that transforms into spores that in turn infect anything they come into contact with. Infection can attack the lungs to produce pneumonia and the skin to produce a localised reaction when skin turns black and dies.

28
Q

What are the symptoms of anthrax?

A 
Itchy skin
High-temperature
Severe cough
Swelling to the throat
Difficulty in breathing
Internal and external skin tissue damage
29
Q

What is the rate of action of anthrax?

A

The initial symptoms can be seen within 1 to 7 days

30
Q

What are the protective timings for the NBC suit:

Thickened blister agent
Gross liquid contamination
Vapour Hazard only
Normal wear and tear

A

Thickened blister agent
6hrs

Gross liquid contamination
24hrs

Vapour Hazard only
24hrs+

Normal wear and tear
28 days

31
Q

What are the canister timings for all nerve and blister agent (except CX)?

32
Q

What are the canister timings for all other agents plus CX (except CK, CG)?

A

30 minutes

33
Q

What are the canister timings for CK and CG?

A

15 minutes

34
Q

What is the shelf life of a canister once un-wrapped?

A

4 months from unwrapping

35
Q

What is the protection life of NBC gloves outer against gross liquid contamination?

36
Q

What is the protection time of NBC gloves outer if decontaminated within 15 minutes of initial contamination?

37
Q

How long will the overboots give protection against gross liquid contamination?

38
Q

What is the purpose of the splash suit?

A

To extend the life of an NBC suit

39
Q

Where could a splash suit be utilised?

A

Vehicle and equipment decontamination

40
Q

What must be used in conjunction with the BC suit?

41
Q

What is the maximum and minimum operating pressure for the SCBA?

A

300 and 240 bar

42
Q

How many litres of air does the SCBA hold?

43
Q

What is the approximate duration use of SCBA?

A

60 minutes

44
Q

When the whistle is operated on the SCBA how much time and how much pressure is remaining?

A

12 minutes and 60 bar

45
Q

What is the un-charged weight of SCBA in steel and Kevlar?

A

Steel 17 kg

Kevlar 8 kg

46
Q

When calculating the endurance of the SCBA, what are the calculations?

A

Breathing rate of 40 ltr per minute
3/2/4
300bar x 2 cylinders x 4 ltr = 2400ltr

Duration
2400 ltr / 40 ltr/min = 60mins
Alarm whistles at 60 bar
60 bar x 2 cylinders x 4 ltr = 480mins
480 / 40 = 12mins (to return to ICP)
60mins - 12mins = 48mins
Planning time 40mins
47
Q

What are the 5 checks for SCBA?

A 
Does it work
How much air
Does it leak
Does the mask seal
Does the whistle work
48
Q

When testing the SCBA for leaks what is it that we’re looking for?

A

With the air turned off looking to lose no less than 10 bars of pressure in 60 seconds

49
Q

If they SCBA is contaminated what do we clean it with?

A

With hot soapy water with a pressurised complete set

50
Q

What are the 3 methods of dissemination?

A

Liquids
Solid
Vapour

51
Q
