Every year it seems there are stories about emergency responders being affected by these chemicals. Many die as a result of their exposures. So, it is time to take a close look at these 3 chemicals and determine why so many people are being exposed. This presentation will evaluate the chemical and physical properties of these toxins, where they are found, how to detect them, and determine what makes them such potent poisons. Post exposure treatment will also be discussed. Case studies will be used to demonstrate the exposure prevalence and outcomes.
