It 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. By gaining an overview, gathering and understanding information, the reader learns how to make decisions based on a scale of risk versus gain. Topics such as efforts such as decontamination techniques, specialized equipment, and simple antidotal treatments are discussed as they relate to the hazardous material incident.
