CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL WARFARE. Flashcards
WHAT IS CHEMICAL WARFARE?
THE EMPLOYMENT OF CHEMICAL AGENTS THAT ARE INTENDED FOR USE IN MILITARY OPERATION TO KILL.
NERVE AGENTS
LIQUID CASUALTY AGENTS THAT DISRUPT NERVE IMPULSES. DAMAGING BODY FUNCTIONS.
BLISTER AGENTS?
LIQUID OR SOLID CASUALTY AGENTS THAT CAN CAUSE INFLAMMATION, BLISTERS, AND GENERAL DESTRUCTION OF TISSUES WHICH OFTEN RESULT IN TEMPORARY BLIDNESS OR DEATH.
BLOOD AGENTS?
GASEOUS CASUALTY AGENTS THAT ATTACK THE ENZYMES CARRYING OXYGEN IN THE BLOOD.
CHOKING AGENTS?
GASEOUS OR LIQUID CASUALTY AGENTS INTITAL SYMPTOMS THAT INCLUDE TEARS, DRY THROAT, NAUSEA, VOMITING AND HEADACHE
M9 CHEMICAL AGENT DETECTOR PAPER
DETECTS THE PRESENCE OF LIQUID CHEMICAL BY TURNING A RED OR REDISH COLOR. DOES NOT DETECT CHEMICAL AGEN VAPORS
ATROPINE/ 2-PAM-CHLORIDE AUTO INJECTOR.
USED AS SPECIFIC THERAPY FOR NERVE AGENT CASUALTIES, THEY ARE ISSUED FOR INTRAMUSCULAR, SELF AID OR FIRST AID
BIOLOGICAL WARFARE
BIOLOGICAL WARFARE IS THE USE OF AGENTS TO CAUSE DISEASE, SICKNESS OR REDUCE EFFECTIVNES OF OPPOSING COMBATANT FORCE.
PATHOGENS
COULD BE USED AS BIOLOGICAL AGENTS INCLUDING
BACTERIA, VIRUSES , FUNGI.
TOXINS
BASED ON ORGANISM THAT PRODUCE THEM AND THE PHYSIOLOGICAL AFFECTS
IPE FOR CHEMICAL/ BIOLOGICAL WARFARE
- PROTECTIVE MASK MCU-2P WITH COMPONENTS (C-2 CANISTER FILTER)
- ADVANCED CHEMICAL PROTECTIVE GARMENT(ACPG)
- CHEMICAL PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND LINERS
- CHEMICAL PROTECTIVE OVERBOOTS AND LACES
- SKIN DECONTAMINATION KIT
RADIOLOGICAL WARFARE
TO PRODUCE WIDESPREAD INJURY AND DEATH OF ALL LIFE.
HIGH ALTITUDE AIR BURST
OCCURS AT ALTITUDE IN EXCESS OF 100,000 FEET, WITH IONOSPHERE DISRUPTION AND EMP
AIR BURST
WHERE FIREBALL DOES NOT REACH THE SURFACE. THE VACUUM CREATED COLLECTS DEBRIS CAUSED BY THE SEVERE BLAST DAMAGE RESULTING IN RADIATION FALLOUT
SURFACE BURST
THE WORST FALLOUT DUE TO FIREBALL TOUCHING THE SURFACE RESULTS IN MASSIVE RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT
