describe the long-term effects from the military experiments involving human subjects exposed to chemical, biological, and radiation weapons and agents; explain the history of the U.S. military programs involving chemical, biological, and radiation as military weapons; identify the psychological effects of being involved in human experiments with these military weapons; identify how various classes of chemical agents are absorbed and eliminated from the body; list the typical signs and symptoms of exposure to various classes of chemical warfare agents and to their pesticide counterparts, where relevant; differentiate the signs and symptoms one might observe following infection with common biological weapon agents, including anthrax, botulism, plague, smallpox, tularemia, and viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF); outline briefly the 3 categories of biological agents as defined by CDC; describe how a “dirty bomb” can produce radiation exposure in a victim; describe the signs and symptoms of acute radiation exposure; and list the VA programs developed to care for casualties from attacks with chemical, biological, and radiological weapons. * This is a privately authored news service and educational publication of Progressive Management.
