Hybrid Cloud Computing Platform for Hazardous Chemicals Releases Monitoring and Forecasting
Journal of Computers, 2012 While hazardous chemicals pollutions occurring, monitoring and forecasting are very important for emergency planning and evacuation. To implement the object, huge amounts of wireless sensors may be distributed in large area. The data gathered by the sensors are sent back to data centers for preprocessing and analysis, which need massive computing ...

Hazards of chemical weapons release during war: new perspectives. [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1999 The two major threat classes of chemical weapons are mustard gas and the nerve agents, and this has not changed in over 50 years. Both types are commonly called gases, but they are actually liquids that are not remarkably volatile. These agents were designed specifically to harm people by any route of exposure and to be effective at low doses.
