two types of antipersonnel
agents |
casualty and incapacitating
|
|
|
Nerve
Colorless odorless, volatile liquid Difficulty breathing, excessive contraction of the pupil of the eye (miosis), blurred vision, headache and nausea leading to respiratory distress, convulsions, and eventually death. Rapid (within minutes) |
Sarin
|
|
|
Nerve Colorless
odorless, low volatility, oily liquid Difficulty breathing, miosis, blurred vision, headache and nausea leading to respiratory distress, convulsions, and eventually death. Relatively rapid (within 30 minutes) |
VX
|
|
|
Blister
Garlic odor, medium volatility, oily liquid Blisters or irritates skin, eyes, and lungs. Delayed onset (4-6hours) |
Mustard
|
|
|
Blood
Almond odor, highly volatile gas Prevents the normal transfer of oxygen from the blood to body tissue resulting in respiratory paralysis. Rapid(within minutes) |
Hydrogen cyanide
|
|
|
cause death or severely
incapacitate personnel for long periods of time. |
Casualty CW
|
|
|
temporarily disable
personnel but do not create permanent injury |
Incapacitating CW
|
|
|
rapid action of nerve agents calls for immediate
administration of the antidotes? |
atropine and pralidoxime chloride (2-PAM C1)
|
|
|
agents act on the eyes, mucous membranes, lungs, and skin.
|
Blister Agents
|
|
|
inhibit the action of an enzyme responsible for transferring oxygen from the blood to
the cells of the body. |
Blood agents
|
|
|
produce an
action on the respiratory system that results in the accumulation of fluid in the lungs. |
Choking Agents
|
|
|
are classified as either tear agents or vomiting agents and are characterized by very low
toxicity and brief action. |
Riot Control Agents (RCAs)
|
|
|
What is the most probable delivery method for
chemical or biological weapons? |
The most probable delivery method for chemical
or biological weapons is by aerosol. |
|
|
What part of the body is most affected by blister
agents? |
Moist areas of the body are most affected by
blister agents. |
|
|
Describe why residual radiation is more
dangerous than initial radiation. |
residual radiation is caused
by large amounts of surface material drawn up into the cloud, which falls back to earth as radioactive fallout and affects a large area. |
|
|
A secondary blast can cause injuries by its
|
strong winds that collapse structures and trees
|
|
|
The measures that should be taken to protect electronic equipment from the effects of EMP are—
|
a. Metal shielding
b. Good grounding c. Surge arresters d. Proper arrangement of electrical wiring |
|
|
A survey team consists of a
|
a. Monitor
b. Recorder c. Messenger |
|
|
Biological markers are
|
blue and have red inscription.
|
|
|
To calculate safe entry time and stay time in a
radiologically contaminated area, you need to know the |
a. Dose rate
b. Dose |
|
|
The only known method for detecting BW contaminants is to?
|
gather samples and ship
them to a laboratory |
|
|
To check areas suspected of being contaminated
by CW agents, you should use an? |
M256A1 kit
|
|
|
The two functions of an MCU-2/P mask are to?
|
a. Filter air
b. Purify |

|
2
|
|
|
primary purpose of level 1 decontamination is to
|
safeguard you in protective gear that includes mask, overgarment, boots, and
gloves. |

|
|
|
is the most effective way
to decontaminate areas exposed to BW agents. |
Chemical disinfectant
