Bombings at the World Trade Center and Oklahoma City's Federal Building, as well as nerve gas attacks in Japan, have made it tragically obvious that American civilians must be ready for terrorist attacks. What do we need to know to help emergency and medical personnel prepare for these attacks? Chemical and Biological Terrorism identifies the R&D efforts needed to implement recommendations in key areas: pre-incident intelligence, detection and identification of chemical and biological agents, protective clothing and equipment, early recognition that a population has been covertly exposed to a pathogen, mass casualty decontamination and triage, use of vaccines and pharmaceuticals, and the psychological effects of terror. Specific objectives for computer software development are also identified. The book addresses the differences between a biological and chemical attack, the distinct challenges to the military and civilian medical communities, and other broader issues. This book will be of critical interest to anyone involved in civilian preparedness for terrorist attack: planners, administrators, responders, medical professionals, public health and emergency personnel, and technology designers and engineers. 606 $aChemical warfare$xHealth aspects 606 $aBiological warfare$xHealth aspects 606 $aCivil defense$zUnited States 606 $aTerrorism$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aDisaster medicine$zUnited States 606 $aDisaster Planning 606 $aChemical Warfare$xprevention & control 606 $aBiological Warfare$xprevention & control 606 $aViolence$xprevention & control 606 $aCivil Defense 607 $aUnited States 615 0$aChemical warfare$xHealth aspects. 615 0$aBiological warfare$xHealth aspects. 615 0$aCivil defense 615 0$aTerrorism$xGovernment policy 615 0$aDisaster medicine 615 2$aDisaster Planning. 615 2$aChemical Warfare$xprevention & control. 615 2$aBiological Warfare$xprevention & control. 615 2$aViolence$xprevention & control. 615 2$aCivil Defense. 676 $a358/.3 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bCommittee on R & D Needs for Improving Civilian Medical Response to Chemical and Biological Terrorism Incidents. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBoard on Environmental Studies and Toxicology. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969770603321 996 $aChemical and biological terrorism$94364535 997 $aUNINA
