BIOMONITORING OF EXPOSURE TO CHEMICAL WARFARE AGENTS

2006
An overview is presented of the major methods that are presently available for biomonitoring of exposure to chemical warfare agents, i.e., nerve agents and sulfur mustard. These methods can be applied for a variety of purposes such as diagnosis and dosimetry of exposure of casualties, verification of nonadherence to the Chemical Weapon Convention ...

Threats to wildlife by chemical and warfare agents

2015
Criminal activities against wildlife are recognized; however, a relatively new concept is wildlife as a target for terrorism. Terrorist activities against wildlife can be undertaken to undermine the public’s sense of security, disrupt or destroy income from wildlife, and remove a food source and culture essentials from aboriginal peoples.

Liver Toxicity of Chemical Warfare Agents

2009
In addition to chemical-induced hepatic injury, there are several natural toxins in the environment that can pose significant threat to liver function. Few examples of natural toxins include peptides of Amanita phalloides, the pyrrolizidine alkaloids, and the toxin of the cycad nut.

On-Site Detection of Chemical Warfare Agents

2009
Publisher Summary Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) are low-molecular weight synthetic compounds, which are fast acting and sometimes lethal, even at low levels, and in physical properties can be classified into gaseous blood agents, gaseous choking agents, volatile nerve gases, volatile blister agents, nonvolatile vomit agents, and nonvolatile ...
