About the only thing I'd change would be to laminate the pages for weather resistance. R.D. 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:
