The Preparatory Manual of Chemical Warfare Agents Third Edition is a massive upgrade to "A Laboratory History of Chemical Warfare Agents," and it's original title has been re-established. The book includes many upgraded information on existing warfare agents including updated molecular formulas, 3D molecules, and molecular data. This third edition includes brand new chapters and sections including a chapter discussing the complete preparation and data of nerve agent antidotes; a huge section on the preparation of potential and experimental warfare agents (nerve agents), including a valuable section and chapter on the complete preparation and data of nerve agent intermediates; a section and chapter on the complete preparation and data on the incapacitating agent BZ and military weaponization; a complete and in depth section and chapter on the extraction, isolation, and military weaponization of Ricin; and a upgrade to methods of chemical dissemination i.e. chemical warfare munitions.
Nerve agents are the world's deadliest means of chemical warfare. Nazi Germany developed the first military-grade nerve agents and massive industry for their manufacture--yet, strangely, the Third Reich never used them. At the end of the Second World War, the Allies were stunned to discover this advanced and extensive programme. The Soviets and Western powers embarked on a new arms race, amassing huge chemical arsenals. From their Nazi invention to the 2018 Novichok attack in Britain, Dan Kaszeta uncovers nerve agents' gradual spread across the world, despite international arms control efforts. They've been deployed in the Iran-Iraq War, by terrorists in Japan, in the Syrian Civil War, and by assassins in Malaysia and Salisbury--always with bitter consequences. Toxic recounts the grisly history of these weapons of mass destruction: a deadly suite of invisible, odourless killers.
This groundbreaking book covers every aspect of deadly toxic chemicals used as weapons of mass destruction and employed in conflicts, warfare and terrorism. Including findings from experimental as well as clinical studies, this one-of-a-kind handbook is prepared in a very user- friendly format that can easily be followed by students, teachers and researchers, as well as lay people. Stand-alone chapters on individual chemicals and major topics allow the reader to easily access required information without searching through the entire book.This is the first book that offers in-depth coverage of individual toxicants, target organ toxicity, major incidents, toxic effects in humans, animals and wildlife, biosensors, biomarkers, on-site and laboratory analytical methods, decontamination and detoxification procedures, prophylactic, therapeutic and countermeasures, and the role of homeland security. Presents a comprehensive look at all aspects of chemical warfare toxicology in one reference work. This saves researchers time in quickly accessing the very latest definitive details on toxicity of specific agents used in chemical warfare as opposed to searching through thousands of journal articles. Will include the most agent-specific information on the market Includes detailed coverage of the most exhaustive list of agents possibly used as chemical warfare agents in one source. Section 4: Agents That Can Be Used as Weapons of Mass Destruction ? 25 chapters long. Other books on the market only include a sample selection of specific agents. Offering all possible agents detailed under one cover makes this appealing to a wider audience and saves researchers time The Forward will be written by Dr. Tetsuo Satoh, Chiba University, Japan. He is one of the most respected, recognizable authorities on chemical warfare agents which will set the authoritative tone for the book Covers risk to humans, animals and the environment equally. Researchers involved in assessing the risks involved with a possible chemical warfare attack and those who are developing response plans to such attacks must look at not only the risks to human health but to our wildlife and environment as well. The holistic approach taken in this book ensures that the researchers have ready access to the details no matter which aspect of the effects of CWA's they might be concerned with
This book provides an analysis of the development and deployment of chemical weapons from 700BC to the present day. The First World War is examined in detail since it remains the most significant experience of the chemical threat, but the Second World War, and post-war conflicts are also evaluated. Additionally, protocols attempting to control the proliferation and use of chemical weapons are assessed. Finally, the book examines the threat (real and imagined) from a chemical warfare attack today by rationally assessing to what extent terrorist groups around the world are capable of making and using such weapons.
Highly lethal chemicals may be the new weapons of choice among terrorist groups throughout the world. This is a grave concern for all First Responders and Emergency Management personnel. This book furnishes the critical information to deal with this threat and provides all the necessary information that First Responders, Hospitals, HazMat Teams, Fire and Rescue Services, and other First Responders need to know when dealing with dangerous chemical agents.
The Preparatory Manual of Chemical Warfare Agents Third Edition is a massive upgrade from its previous version. The Preparatory Manual of Chemical Warfare Agents Third Edition Volume 1 includes many upgraded data and informational contents on the worlds most common Chemical Warfare Agents. These existing warfare agents in Volume 1 include updated toxicity data and information regarding environmental persistence, contamination degree, lethal dose, and biological routes of entry and bodily function. As well, each chemical entry includes updated molecular formulas for preparation and structure, 3D molecular images, molecular physical properties, and laboratory chemistry, procedures, and safety. The third edition Volume 1 includes brand new chapters and sections including: Section I: LABORATORY TUTORIAL AND REFERENCE GUIDE, Chapter 1: Laboratory tutorial on techniques and procedures; Chapter 2: Reference guide. Section II: LACHRYMATOR, DISABLING, AND IRRITANT AGENTS, Chapter 3: Physical Nature of Lachrymator, disabling, and irritant substances; Chapter 4: Preparation of Lachrymator, disabling, and irritant substances. Section III: BLOOD AGENTS, Chapter 5: Physical Nature of Blood Agents; Chapter 6: The Preparation of blood agents. Section IV: BLISTER AGENTS (POTENT VESICANTS: TISSUE DAMAGING AGENTS), Chapter 7: Physical Nature of Blister agents, including sulfur mustards, nitrogen mustards, and arsenicals; Chapter 8: Preparation of Blister Agents including sulfur mustards, nitrogen mustards, and arsenicals. Section V: NERVE AGENTS (POTENT ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE INHIBITORS), Chapter 9: Physical Nature of Nerve agents; and Chapter 10: Preparation of Nerve Agents. The Preparatory Manual of Chemical Warfare Agents Third Edition Volume 1 is an extremely valuable reference book used to teach scientific, laboratory, and toxicity data for students, researchers, government agencies, contractors, first responders, and military operatives.
