Editorial Review: Product Description: This is a comprehensive pocket guide detailing the range of critical planning and response procedures for a chem-bio incident. Fundamental on-scene procedural information ensures first responders have the resource necessary for planning, for responding to, and managing the aftermath of a chemical or biological incident.

Lopez, Emergency Medical Services and Disaster Specialist, Dept. of Public Health Rating: - Well written, portable, multi-purposeThis book offers a concise overview of (1) on scene procedures such as triage and decontamination, (2) general characteristics of weapon classes, (3) details of specific agents, and (4) treatments. It also describes precursor chemicals and 4 case histories. It is better written and more detailed than the comparable book "First responder chem-bio handbook". Browse for similar items by category:
