SynopsisThis text explores the medical aspects of hazardous material response including the initial response, chemical and toxicological information, effects on body systems -- injury and treatment, physiology and treatments of common poisonings. The student learns how to make decisions based on a scale of risk versus gain. Decontamination techniques, specialized equipment, simple antidotal treatments and more are discussed as they relate to the hazardous materials incident.(Keywords: Hazmat)ALSO AVAILABLEStudy Guide, ISBN: 0-8273-7830-0INSTRUCTOR SUPPLEMENTS CALL CUSTOMER SUPPORT TO ORDERInstructor's Guide, ISBN: 0-8273-7831-9, This text explores the medical aspects of hazardous material response including the initial response, chemical and toxicological information, effects on body systems -- injury and treatment, physiology and treatments of common poisonings.
