Book Description
This report presents a summary and critical evaluation of the existing data on the dispersion of military smokes. Emphasis is placed on fog oil smokes in terms of the measurement of concentration, dosage, particle size distribution, and mass deposition rate. The suitability of the available data for evaluating atmospheric dispersion models for health and environmental impacts purposes is marginal. Several questions remain as to the adequacy of the sampling techniques used and the validity of some of the supporting meteorological data. The best of the existing dataw onf og oil smoke dispersion were acquired during the Smoke Week IIi and IV experiments. Keywords: Aerosol photometers; Plume models; Mathematical models. (author).

Chemical Warfare Agents
Author: Brian J. Lukey
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 0429631472
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 1197
Book Description
The first edition of this book, Chemical Warfare Agents: Toxicity at Low Levels, was published just prior to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The second edition titled, Chemical Warfare Agents: Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Therapeutics, included new epidemiological and clinical studies of exposed or potentially exposed populations; new treatment concepts and products; improved organization of the national response apparatus addressing the potential for CWA terrorism; and improved diagnostic tests that enable rapid diagnosis and treatment. Since the second edition, the chemical warfare agent community has worked hard to advance research for protection and treatment and develop/improve response approaches for individuals and definitive care. Consequently, in addition to updating previous chapters, Chemical Warfare Agents: Biomedical and Psychological Effects, Medical Countermeasures, and Emergency Response, Third Edition features several new chapters that address the Syrian War, chemical destruction, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, biomarkers for chemical warfare agent exposure, field sensors, aircraft decontamination, lung/human on a chip, chemical warfare response decision making, and other research advancements. Features: Describes the newest medical interventions, and the latest technologies deployed in the field, as well as developments in the international response to CW usage highlighting recent events in the Middle East Discusses the latest in organizational/interagency partitioning in terms of responsibilities for emergency response, not just in the United States but at the international level—whether prevention, mitigation, medical care, reclamation, or medico-legal aspects of such response Contains the most current research from bench-level experts The third edition contains the most up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of the question of chemical warfare agent employment on the battlefield or in terrorism. Edited by workers that have been in the field for 35+ years, it remains faithful to the scientific "constants," while evaluating and crediting the advances by the industry that have made us safer.

Field Measurement and Model Evaluation Program for Assessment of the Environmental Effects of Military Smokes: Evaluation of Atmospheric Wind Field and Dispersion Models for Fog-Oil Smoke Dispersion in Complex Terrain
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
Three models used to predict the wind field and pollutant dispersion in complex terrain are compared with smoke dispersion data acquired as part of the AMADEUS field experiments in 1987 near Red Bluff, California. The models evaluated were WADOCT, HOTMAC/RAPTAD, and RAMS. The data base for model testing encompassed 7 fog-oil smoke releases from ground level under stable meteorological conditions. Smoke concentrations were measured out to 4 km downwind. Time-dependent meteorological and source data were available from these tests to be used as model input. The results showed that the WADOCT model predicted quite well for the first 300 m downwind but then underpredicted the plume concentration by an order of magnitude at distances of 4 km downwind. The HOTMAC/RAPTAD model revealed a similar behavior. The inability of those two models to predict the trajectory of the plume and the observed limited vertical growth of the plume, in the downwind valley, are the likely causes of the underprediction. The RAMS model revealed very poor wind field and dispersion predictions based on the large grid spacing that was required (for this application) in order to make the computer run times manageable ...
