Immediate Decon

Minimizes casualties. Individual decontaminates upon contamination

Operational Decon

Limits spread of contamination to eliminate the necessity or reside the duration of wearing MOPP gear

Thorough Decon

Reduced or eliminates need for individual protective clothing

Immediate Decon techniwues

Skin Decon (1 minute or less), personnel wipe down operator’s spray down both done within 15 minutes

Operational Decon techniques

Vehicle wash down and MOPP gear exchange, don’t withing 6 hours

Thorough Decon techiques

Detailed troop Decon, detailed equipment Econ, and detailed aircraft Decon, only when mission allows reconstitution

Reacting to a nuclear blast

Take immediate action, take cover if possible, drop face down, helmet on, heat towards blast, close eyes and cover skin, weapon under body if carried. Stay down for 90 seconds or until debris stops falling

Nerve agent

Interferes with normal transmission of peeve impulses in the parasympathetic nervous system.

Nerve agent symptons

Inhalation’s: pupils constrict. Skin exposure: local muscular twitching. Other symptoms: rhinorrhea, suspensions, diarrhea, vomiting, convulsions, hyper salivation, drowsiness, and unconsciousness

Nerve Agent treatment

2 mg auto injection atropine, an acetylcholine blocker and 600mg autoinjection of 2-PAM CL. Administer at 15 minute intervals until mild atropinization occurrs (Tachycardia and dry mouth)

Blister agents

Produces large painful blisters that are incapacitating

Mustard Blister Agents signs and symptoms

Oily, colorless or pale yellow liquids, may produce eye inclination, eyes are the most sensitive. Pain and gritty feeling are first signs in eyes. Blistering begins 12 to 48 hours.


Inhalation is followed by irritation of the thought, hoarseness, and a cough followed by fever moist rales and dyspnea


Death caused by pulmonary obstruction

Lewisite blister signed and symptoms

Lewisite is an arsenical, light to dark brown, irritation is immediate, intense pain upon contact

Blister Agent treatment

Clean any exposed skin off ASAP to mitigate symptoms, British anti-lewisite (BAL), dimercaprol. An injection of more than 3 mg/kg will cause severe symptoms

Blood Agents

Interfere with enzyme functions I.e. Blocking oxygen transfer. Hydrodynamic acid (AC) and cyanogen chloride (CK)

Blood Agents signs and symptoms

Death or recovery takes place


Forceful increase in depth in respirations after seconds, violent convulsions 20-30 seconds, and respiratory failure and heart failure within minutes

Blood Agents treatment

Amyloid nitrite in crush ampules ass first aid and IV sodium thiosulfate solution. Crush up to eight ampules near pts nose. Thiosulfate requires at 100 to 200 mg/kg over 9 minutes

Choking Agents

Cause extensive damage to alveolar tissue, resulting in pulmonary edema. Include phosgene (CG), chlorine (CL), chloropricrin and siphosgene. CG is most likely

Choking Agents signs and symptoms

Watering of eyes, coughing, tightness in the chest. No symptoms for 2 to 6 hours after exposure

Choking agents treatment

Bed rest, treat symptomatically

Incapacitating Agents

Produce mental confusion and an inability to function intelligently

Incapacitating agents signs and symptoms

Symptoms appear in 30 minutes to several hours after exposure, may persist for several days. Third affected may make irrational statements and have delusions or hallucinations, may complain of dizziness, dry mouth, muscular in coordination, and difficulty swallowing

Incapacitating agents treatment

Prevent patients from injuring themselves nad others. If affected by BZ or another glycolate physostigmine is treatment of choice.

Riot control/harassing agents

Lacrimators and vomiting agents. Describes chemical compounds having similar characteristics of producing temporary effect in very low concentration

Lacrimators

CN and CS, local irritants that act primarily on the eyes, also the respiratory tract and skin in high doses. Treat with fresh air.

Vomiting agents

Adamsite (DM) aDA, and DC. Produce a sting pepper like irritation in the upper respiratory tract. Cause violent uncontrollable sneezing, coughing, nausea, vomiting, and malaise. Wear mask though symptoms, symptoms may increase despite mask being effective until it passes. Carry out duties vigorously, rinse irritates read with water
