About This Item
Boca Raton: CRC Press, 2000. Second Printing (stated). Hardcover. Very good. [16], 507, [5] pages. Glossary. References. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Mr. Ellison served on active duty in the United States Army as a commissioned officer in the Chemical Corps. He was one of the few Airborne Ranger Chemical Officers and served with the 101st Airborne Division. He was responsible for managing training in all aspects of nuclear, biological and chemical defense. He was also an instructor on the construction and deployment of improvised flame munitions. He has acted as incident commander, safety officer, and response specialist during several adverse events. He has provided chemical and biological counterterrorism training to Hazardous Materials teams, Explosive Ordnance Disposal teams and other groups. He has served on a Technical Assistance Team for Weapons of Mass Destruction. Handbook of Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents goes well beyond the "dirty thirty" commonly discussed agents and provides rapid access to a wide range of agents that can be used as weapons. Highly organized and cross-referenced to provide instant access to the most authoritative data. It provides an Agent Index, Class Indices, North American Emergency Response Guidebook (NAERG), and a general section that addresses agent detector characteristics, personal protective equipment, contaminated materials, U.S. military chemical munition markings, and a list of agents. Other information is provided where applicable such as chemical formula, routes of exposure, medicinal uses, threat or treaty listing, and descriptions of the disease as it appears in humans, animals, and plants. All values are based on a "standard" man model to allow for consistency of data and evaluations. The gold-standard reference in the fields is the Handbook of Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents.
