This groundbreaking book covers every aspect of deadly toxic
chemicals used as weapons of mass destruction and employed in
conflicts, warfare and terrorism. Including findings from
experimental as well as clinical studies, this one-of-a-kind
handbook is prepared in a very user- friendly format that can
easily be followed by students, teachers and researchers, as well
as lay people. Stand-alone chapters on individual chemicals and
major topics allow the reader to easily access required information
without searching through the entire book.
This is the first book that offers in-depth coverage of individual
toxicants, target organ toxicity, major incidents, toxic effects in
humans, animals and wildlife, biosensors, biomarkers, on-site and
laboratory analytical methods, decontamination and detoxification
procedures, prophylactic, therapeutic and countermeasures, and the
role of homeland security.
Presents a comprehensive look at all aspects of chemical warfare
toxicology in one reference work. This saves researchers time in
quickly accessing the very latest definitive details on toxicity of
specific agents used in chemical warfare as opposed to searching
through thousands of journal articles. Will include the most
agent-specific information on the market.
Includes detailed coverage of the most exhaustive list of agents
possibly used as chemical warfare agents in one source. Section 4:
Agents That Can Be Used as Weapons of Mass Destruction ? 25
chapters long. Other books on the market only include a sample
selection of specific agents. Offering all possible agents detailed
under one cover makes this appealing to a wider audience and saves
researchers time.
The Forward will be written by Dr. Tetsuo Satoh, Chiba
University, Japan. He is one of the most respected, recognizable
authorities on chemical warfare agents which will set the
authoritative tone for the book.
Covers risk to humans, animals and the environment equally.
Researchers involved in assessing the risks involved with a
possible chemical warfare attack and those who are developing
response plans to such attacks must look at not only the risks to
human health but to our wildlife and environment as well. The
holistic approach taken in this book ensures that the researchers
have ready access to the details no matter which aspect of the
effects of CWA's they might be concerned with.
