5 Categories of chemical agents - ANS-1) nerve
2) blood
3) blister
4) choking
5) chemical compound
Characteristics to categorize chemical agents - ANS-volatility, physical state, military
use, route of entry, physiological effect, persistence, onset of effects
Volatility - ANS-a measure of how readily a substance vaporizes
Persistency - ANS-Describes how long a chemical agent will stay on a surface
Communicability - ANS-ability to spread from one individual to others and cause
disease
incubation time - ANS-the time period between the exposure to the infectious disease
agent and the first appearance of clinical signs for the disease
Signs of Nerve Agents - ANS-nausea, headache, pupils constrict, convulsions, death
Signs of blood agent - ANS-dizziness, giddiness, flush skin, pulse
signs of blister agent - ANS-blisters, rash, hives, red skin, burns
Signs of choking agent - ANS-choking, coughing up blood/ fluids
in what ways can chemical agents be disseminated - ANS-solid, liquid, gas, aerosol
antidote for choking agent - ANS-oxygen
antidote for blood agent - ANS-oxygen
antidote for blister agent - ANS-RSDL
antidote for nerve agent - ANS-atropine and 2 pam CL (PB tablets before exposure)
, self aid - ANS-inject self with atropine and 2 pam CL every 10 min
buddy aid - ANS-inject friend with 3 doses of atropine and 2 pam CL
what to do if you get something in your eye - ANS-flush it out
2 types of biological weapons - ANS-pathogens: living organisms
toxins: chemicals produced by living organisms
6 types of pathogens - ANS-1. bacteria
2. viruses
3. fungi
4. protozoans
5. rickettsia
6. prions
virility - ANS-effectiveness at doing damage
biologics can infect via - ANS-ingestion, skin, inhalation
MOPP 0 - ANS-no MOPP, no danger of attack
MOPP 1 - ANS-Suspected threat; issued PPE
MOPP 2 - ANS-Possible threat; carry mask, DECON dry run, test alarms and CMWD
MOPP 3 - ANS-Probable threat; DON suit, run CMWD intermittently, GQ Cond 2
MOPP 4 - ANS-Imminent threat; GQ 1, Circle William, Zebra set, don mask, continuous
CMWD
Gas mask M61 filters should be replaced when - ANS-1) 24 hrs contaminated
2) 1 blood agent attack
3) when clogged
4) when indicator changes color
5) shelf life: read latest message/ ask CBR team
How to doff uncontaminated gear - ANS-1) canteen
2) mask
3) coat
