Biological and chemical agents: a brief synopsis
Am J Ther.
2002 Jan-Feb.
Abstract
The objective of this article is to provide a concise overview of the most likely biological and chemical agents that could be used as biochemical weapons. The diagnosis, pathology, prevention, decontamination, treatment, and disposition of these biological and chemical agents are presented in a tabular format for quick reference purposes. The information provided outlines the bare essentials needed to deal with any emergency or catastrophic event involving these agents.
