Chemical Warfare Agents, Second Edition has been
totally revised since the successful first edition and expanded to
about three times the length, with many new chapters and much more
in-depth consideration of all the topics. The chapters have been
written by distinguished international experts in various aspects
of chemical warfare agents and edited by an experienced team to
produce a clear review of the field.
The book now contains a wealth of material on the mechanisms of
action of the major chemical warfare agents, including the nerve
agent cyclosarin, formally considered to be of secondary
importance, as well as ricin and abrin. Chemical Warfare
Agents, Second Edition discusses the physico-chemical
properties of chemical warfare agents, their dispersion and fate in
the environment, their toxicology and management of their effects
on humans, decontamination and protective equipment. New chapters
cover the experience gained after the use of sarin to attack
travellers on the Tokyo subway and how to deal with the outcome of
the deployment of riot control agents such as CS gas.
This book provides a comprehensive review of chemical warfare
agents, assessing all available evidence regarding the medical,
technical and legal aspects of their use. It is an invaluable
reference work for physicians, public health planners, regulators
and any other professionals involved in this field.
Review of the First Edition:
"What more appropriate time for a title of this scope than in
the post 9/11 era? ...a timely, scholarly, and well-written volume
which offers much information of immense current and...future
benefit."
