The text considers the nature and basic science of the hazards faced as well as the practical management of persons exposed to chemicals and toxins.  Individual chapters cover the development and classification of chemical toxic agents, how exposure can occur and how medical responders should be involved in its management. There is also consideration of the nature of toxic trauma and the pathophysiological processes involved, together with a systematic approach to early and continuing management supported by specific examples of incidents. This guide will be a useful resource for consultants and registrars in emergency medicine, clinical toxicology, internal medicine, anaesthesia and intensive care as well as paramedical HAZMAT responders involved in both the management of mass chemical casualties and ensuring safe operating procedures within potentially contaminated areas to prevent secondary casualties from a chemical release.     . 606 $aPharmacology 606 $aEmergency medicine 606 $aPharmacology/Toxicology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B21007 606 $aEmergency Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H22000 615 0$aPharmacology. 615 0$aEmergency medicine. 615 14$aPharmacology/Toxicology. 615 24$aEmergency Medicine. 676 $a610 676 $a615 676 $a615.906 676 $a616025 700 $aBaker$b David J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0555490 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298337503321 996 $aToxic Trauma$92536166 997 $aUNINA
