The terrorist act with sarin gas in the Tokyo underground and the
case with the spread of anthrax spores through the U.S. postal
system stimulated the development of orga- zation of fight against
terrorism on a national and global level. The goal of this wo- shop
was assessment of scientific concepts and practical means for
management of chemical and biological agents casualties in the area
of terrorist attacks with emphasis on improving the problems and
situation in Eastern European Countries. In this book are included
the results of both theoretical and practical research of chemical
and biological terrorism presented during the workshop. Different
trends of research to fight against terrorism on both local and
governmental level including some Eastern European countries are
discussed. The scientific articles are grouped into those areas: -
New approaches in counteraction to chemical and biological
terrorism - Medical treatment and decontamination of casualties
from chemical and biological agents - Diagnosis of exposure to
chemical and biological agents - Development of protection against
injuries from chemical and biological agents In these articles the
following are emphasized: - Some aspects of national and global
defense against chemical and biological terrorism - National action
plans and global agreements on combating terrorism - The
characteristics of the major specific injuries connected with
chemical and biological terrorism - Threats of terroristic attacks
- Epidemiological and clinical peculiarities, ways of diagnosing,
medical tre- ment and preventive health care measures These
problems are analyzed from an interdisciplinary perspective.
The use of sarin in the terrorist acts in Matsumoto city and Tokyo
underground was considered by a number of specialists as a new era
in terrorism. In addition to chemical weapons, terrorists can use a
great variety of toxic chemicals from chemical industry,
agriculture or products released from terrorist acts on industrial
facilities. Evidently, the arsenal of chemical agents that can be
used as terrorist agents is practically unlimited. The risk of
exposure to chemical agents which could be used in terrorist acts
is real. Therefore, the readiness for defense in a case of chemical
terrorism should be enhanced. Decontamination and medical treatment
are important aspects of protection from effects after
intoxications with chemical agents.
This book contains unique contributions in the area of defense
against chemical terrorism by experts from former Warsaw Pact
countries. Decontamination and medical treatment are important
aspects of protection from effects after intoxications with
chemical agents. The book covers topics including new approaches in
pre-treatment and prophylaxis of nerve agent intoxication, and
diagnosis of exposure to chemical agents.
