Today's danger comes mainly from the potential use of nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) weapons of mass destruction (WMD) by international terrorists or rogue states. False alarms and misinformation about these weapons have abounded in the jittery post-9\/11 atmosphere. To understand and deal with the actual threat posed requires basing response plans, policy, and reporting on actual facts.\u003cbr\u003e Introduction to Weapons of Mass Destruction separates fact from fiction about NBC weaponry by providing clear, technically precise information. For each family of weapon, coverage in this handbook includes:\u003cbr\u003e * History and background information\u003cbr\u003e * Agent types and delivery mechanisms\u003cbr\u003e * Effects of exposure\u003cbr\u003e * Protection\u003cbr\u003e * Safe storage and handling\u003cbr\u003e * Decontamination\u003cbr\u003e * Medical treatments\u003cbr\u003e Drawing from a broad array of military, scientific, and safety resources, this text offers both accessibility to the general public and accuracy and depth for professional emergency responders. Additional resources include a bibliography of references and a list of addresses and telephone numbers of federal and military agencies and professional organizations of interest. With full coverage of WMDs, from high-tech, genetically modified organisms to rudimentary radiological \"dirty bombs,\" Introduction to Weapons of Mass Destruction is an essential reference for understanding and responding to these dangerous warfare agents.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e1.
