The first edition of this book, Chemical Warfare Agents: Toxicity
at Low Levels, was published just prior to the terrorist attacks of
September 11, 2001. The second edition titled, Chemical Warfare
Agents: Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Therapeutics, included new
epidemiological and clinical studies of exposed or potentially
exposed populations; new treatment concepts and products; improved
organization of the national response apparatus addressing the
potential for CWA terrorism; and improved diagnostic tests that
enable rapid diagnosis and treatment. Since the second edition, the
chemical warfare agent community has worked hard to advance
research for protection and treatment and develop/improve response
approaches for individuals and definitive care. Consequently, in
addition to updating previous chapters, Chemical Warfare Agents:
Biomedical and Psychological Effects, Medical Countermeasures, and
Emergency Response, Third Edition features several new chapters
that address the Syrian War, chemical destruction, the Organisation
for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, biomarkers for chemical
warfare agent exposure, field sensors, aircraft decontamination,
lung/human on a chip, chemical warfare response decision making,
and other research advancements. Features: Describes the newest
medical interventions, and the latest technologies deployed in the
field, as well as developments in the international response to CW
usage highlighting recent events in the Middle East Discusses the
latest in organizational/interagency partitioning in terms of
responsibilities for emergency response, not just in the United
States but at the international level-whether prevention,
mitigation, medical care, reclamation, or medico-legal aspects of
such response Contains the most current research from bench-level
experts The third edition contains the most up-to-date and
comprehensive coverage of the question of chemical warfare agent
employment on the battlefield or in terrorism. Edited by workers
that have been in the field for 35+ years, it remains faithful to
the scientific "constants," while evaluating and crediting the
advances by the industry that have made us safer.
