This handbook was originally written as an aid to first responders and meant to help bridge the gap between what was known about responding to industrial hazardous materials, and responding to events involving military chemical and biological agents. It was formatted to resemble two classic resources recognized by virtually every responder working at a hazardous material incident: The NIOSH Pocket Guide and the transportation Emergency Response Guidebook. This structure gives rapid access to key information need by responders early in a response without overwhelming them with inessential details. The second edition underwent a consolidation of information along with a change in format that made it more succinct. The number of agents identified was also greatly expanded. This new edition retains the formatting changes made in the second edition. However, there have been some changes in the identification of agent classes. In this current edition, two of the classes from the second edition, bacterial and rickettsial pathogens, have been consolidated into a single class in order to provide clarity and reflect current scientific taxonomy. Two new classes of biological agents, bioregulators and non-vector entomological agents, have been added. The information presented in every class detailed in this edition has been updated and expanded. There is also a significant increase in the number of agents described, as well as in the number of components, precursors and decomposition products. Individual entries contain more information on health effects, and on the chemical, physical and biological properties of individual agents.
