Preparedness for Chemical Threats; New Challenges in Management of Trauma and Disasters
Journal Title: Bulletin of Emergency And Trauma - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
New challenges for healthcare; the chemical scenario The “New Chemical Age”, following World War ΙΙ, has been characterized by a dramatic increase in global chemical output and exposure for chemicals [1,2]. Not only are numerous chemicals and chemical products handled and stored in the industry or transported daily through both land and sea, but chemicals are also used as weapons [3,4]. Although most of the chemicals used are in small quantities and only of concern to professional chemists, the general public or workers in common occupations may routinely be exposed to an estimated 50,000–100,000 synthetic chemicals currently used in most industrialized countries [1].
