"Chemical, biologic, toxicologic, nuclear, and explosive threats are each addressed using a systematic format that includes background, triage, decontamination, signs and symptoms, and medical management. The second half of the book covers preparedness - including issues specific to hospitals, communities, emergency medical services, and the media."--Jacket |
