Beschreibung:
Based on the findings of a multidisciplinary toxicology research program, this book explores improved methods of implementing countermeasures to biological and chemical terrorism. The authors focus on modeling, simulation, and visualization; environmental protection; personal protection and therapeutics; and the mechanistic and toxic effects of weapons. It draws heavily on the findings and conclusions from research conducted through the Admiral Elmo R. Zumwalt, Jr. National Program for Countermeasures to Biological and Chemical Threats. The book is appropriate for graduate-level course work and as a professional reference. It includes a 16-page color insert along with tables, illustrations, and diagrams.
