What does MOPP stand for? |
Mission Oriented Protective Posture |
|
What is MOPP? |
A management tool that is used to coordinate the use of systems and equipment in Chemical or Biological environment. |
|
What is Chemical Warfare? |
The employment of chemical agents that are intended for use in military operations to kill, seriously injure, or incapacitate personnel due to their physiological effect. |
|
What are the 4 types of chemical agents? |
• Nerve agents • Blister agents • Blood agents • Choking agents |
|
What are Nerve Agents? |
Liquid casualty agents that disrupt nerve impulses to the body while damaging body functions rather than tissue. |
|
What is a Blister Agent? |
Liquid or solid casualty agent that can cause inflammation, blisters, and general destruction of tissue which often results in a temporary blindness and/or death. |
|
What are Blood Agents? |
Gaseous casualty agents that attack the enzymes carrying oxygen in the blood stream. |
|
What are Blister Agents? |
Liquid or solid casualty agent that can cause inflammation, blisters, and general destruction of tissue which often results in a temporary blindness and/or death. |
|
What are Blood Agents? |
Gaseous casualty agents that attack the enzymes carrying oxygen in the blood stream. |
|
What are Choking Agents? |
Gaseous or liquid casualty agents with initial symptoms that include; tears, dry throat, nausea, vomiting, and headache. |
|
What is M9 Chemical Agent Detector Paper? |
Detects the presence of liquid chemical agents by turning a red or reddish color, does not detect vapors. |
|
What are Blister Agents? |
Liquid or solid casualty agent that can cause inflammation, blisters, and general destruction of tissue which often results in a temporary blindness and/or death. |
|
What are the primary groups of toxins based on physiological effects? |
Neurotoxins, cytotoxins, enterotoxins, and dermatoxins. |
|
What is IPE? |
Individual Protective Equipment. |
|
IPE for chemical/biological agent environments consist of what? |
• Protective mask MCU-2P w/ components. (C-2 canister filter) • Advanced chemical protective garment (ACPG) • Chemical protective gloves and liners • Chemical protective overboots and laces • Skin decontamination kit |
|
What is Radiological Warfare? |
The deliberate use of radiological weapons to produce widespread injury and death of all life. |
|
What are the 5 types of nuclear explosions? |
• High altitude air • Air burst • Surface burst • Shallow underwater burst • Deep underwater burst |
|
What is a High Altitude Burst? |
Occurs at altitudes in excess of 100K feet, with ionosphere disruptions and EMP. |
|
What is an Air Burst? |
Where fireball does not reach the surface. Radiation fallout. |
|
What is a Surface Burst? |
The worst fallout due to the fireball touching the surface which results in massive radioactive fallout. |
|
What is Shallow Underwater Burst? |
A small fireball and blast wave however, it causes large waves and water contamination. |
|
What is Deep Underwater Burst? |
A small fireball and blast wave however, with light waves and yields greater contaminated water. |
|
What are Blood Agents? |
Gaseous casualty agents that attack the enzymes carrying oxygen in the blood stream. |
|
What are the two types of Shipboard Shielding Stations? |
• Ready-shelter • Deep-shelter |
|
What are Ready-shelter Stations? |
Provide minimum shielding from nuclear radiation and allow the crew to remain close to battle stations. |
|
What are Deep-shelter stations? |
Provides maximum shielding from nuclear radiation, often requiring personnel to be far removed from battle stations. |
|
What is a DT-60 dosimeter? |
Determines the total amount of gamma radiation to which the wearer is exposed in the 0-600 roentgens. |
|
What are Choking Agents? |
Gaseous or liquid casualty agents with initial symptoms that include; tears, dry throat, nausea, vomiting, and headache. |
|
What is M9 Chemical Agent Detector Paper? |
Detects the presence of liquid chemical agents by turning a red or reddish color, does not detect vapors. |
|
What is a Atropine/2-PAM-chloride Auto Injector? |
Used as a specific therapy for nerve agent casualties, they are issued for intramuscular injection, self-aid or first aid. |
|
What is Biological Warfare? |
The use of agents to cause disease, sickness, or death to reduce the effectiveness of opposing combatant forces. |
|
What are the two different types of Biological Agents? |
Pathogens and Toxins. |
|
What are Pathogens that can be used as biological agents? |
Bacteria, rickettsia, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and prions. |
|
What are the categorization of toxins based on? |
The organisms (source) that produce them and the physiological affects the toxins cause in humans. |
|
What are the major groupings of toxins by source (organisms)? |
Mycotoxins (fungi), bacterial toxins, algal toxins, animal venoms, and plant toxins. |
