What is the difference between persistent and non-persistent chemical agents? -
ANS-Non-persistent: agents disperse rapidly after release and present immediate, short
duration hazard - highly volatile liquids when disseminated then quickly evaporate or
turn into aerosols

persistent: continue to present a hazard after delivery, contaminating material and
degrading unit efficiency

What are the two classifications for route of entry? - ANS--Non-percutaneous:
"inhalation or eye-respiratory hazard" and all agents in the vapor state

-Percutaneous: can enter the body through unbroken skin or that can injure the skin
directly

What are the two classifications of onset of effects? - ANS--delayed acting
-quick acting

Describe nerve agents - ANS-Disrupt the transmission of electrical impulses in the
nervous system

-Brown liquids and most are odorless or have a sweet smell

-Among the deadliest of the casualty-causing agents

What are nerve agent symptoms for mild exposure? - ANS-pupils to contract (myosis),
impairing vision,
headache,
involuntarily muscular twitching,
chest tightness,
secretion of mucous from the nose and saliva from the mouth

When to replace M61 filters? - ANS-blue or black
after 1 blood agent attack

What are nerve agent symptoms for moderate exposure? - ANS-difficulty breathing and
