CURRENT BIOLOGICAL THREATS

11


True or False: The agents used for biological warfare are drawn frompathogens and toxins that which exist in nature. Toxins arepoisonous substances produced by living things.

True.

False.

12


RADIOLOGICAL THREAT

13


BASICS OF RADIATION

RADIATION FACTS• Ionizing radiation is

electromagnetic energy or energetic particles emitted from a source.

• Ionizing radiation is able to strip electrons from atoms causing chemical changes in molecules.

• The most common types of ionizing radiation are: alpha, beta, gamma, x-ray, and neutron.

ALPHA

BETA

GAMMA

NEUTRON

X-RAY14


BASICS OF RADIATION

RADIATION FACTS• Reducing the time a

person is exposed to radiation, the total dose of radiation is reduced.

• Increasing the distance between the individual and the source of radiation also reduces the exposure.

• Using dense materials to shield the radiation, reduces the exposure.

True.

False.

2. True or False: Tell tale signs of a biological attack are unusual liquid sprays or vapors, oily droplets on surfaces, dead insects and animals, low-lying clouds or fog unrelated to weather, or unexplained odors.

True.

False.

38


3. Question: Which is an example of a suspicious activity that could be a precursor to a radiological, nuclear or high yield explosive incident?

A vehicle that has been parked in your parking lot for anextended period of time.

Packages that are stained, have excessive postage or havemisspelled addresses or addressee’s.

Someone taking pictures of your building.

All of the above.

Evacuation and shelter in place.

Decontamination and communication.

Evacuation and decontamination.

Shelter in place and decontamination.

40


5. True or False: You should use water or a soap-and-water solution to clean exposed areas beginning with your hands and then face as both are effective for decontamination of chemical/biological agents and radioactive material.
