Chemical Biological And Radiological Warfare

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 33 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Pocket dosimeter; personal meter to determine overall exposure to harmful radiation in a given setting.






2. Deliberate use of living organisms used to cause death - injury - or destroy living things.






3. Ionizing Will penetrate upper layers of matter; will alter the molecules it colides with. Most dangerous when contaminated particulate matter remains on skin - or inhaled.Effective protection: masks - clothing - eye protection - thorough washing of c






4. Intense heat from explosion - Radiation travels in straight lines - so burns usually only on side facing blast - Blindness caused by intense light radiation






5. Hydrogen Cyanide - Initial deep breathing - Violent convulsions - Breathing stops after one minute - Heart stops soon after






6. Creates a flash of magnetic and electric fields that cause power surges and electronic mishaps in equipment.






7. Treated clothing to protect agains blister agents and all known chemical and biological war agents.






8. MOPP






9. Personal dosimeter; non - self reading - must be used with computer devices to determine how much ? radiation one is exposed to.






10. All PPE donned






11. Mask used to protect personnel against CBR; not effective against smoke - ammonia - CO - or CO2.






12. Produces worst fallout - Fireball touches the earth - Nagasaki and Hiroshima






13. Choking agents - Nerve agents - Blood agents - Blister agents






14. Detonation in excess of 100 -000 ft (18 mi) - Disturbs electromagnetic communications - Fireball does not touch ground






15. Process in which energetic particles or energy or waves travel through a medium or space - Consists of non - ionizing (radio - visible light - n) and ionizing (a -






16. MCU-2P fitted with canister - Suit donned






17. Non - ionizing (indirect ionizing) Most penatrable; charges a nuclei at an atomic level - rendering the atom radioactive (including body tissues thus making the person radioactive) Effective protection consists of hydrogen rich material (water - parr






18. Use of radioactive agents and weapons to cause injury - or death.






19. Runny nose - Difficulty breathing - Contraction of the pupils - Nausea - Cramps - Headache - Coma - Convulsion






20. Fireball formed but rarely surfaces - Creates upward thrust of water into air - Shockwave greatest danger






21. PPE carried on person






22. Most damage is caused by the shockwaves - Radiation fallout is secondary danger - Fireball does not touch ground - Causes mushroom cloud






23. Ionizing - Penetrates all parts of the body; ionizes the molecules it strikes and alters chemical composition of the matter Effective protection: high density - high mass material with high atomic number (lead is most readily available)






24. High Altitude Air Burst - Air Burst - Surface Burst - Shallow Underwater Burst - Deep Underwater Burst






25. Redness of the skin - Intense itching and blisters






26. Ionizing Must be ingested into airways - blood stream - can be blocked by minimal matter (paper)






27. PPE issued to each person - Mask fitted






28. Intentional use of harmful or lethal chemicals used to cause death - injury - or irritation.






29. Doubles as protection against a and






30. Immediate dryness of the throat - Coughing - Choking - Tightness in the chest - Headache - Nausea






31. Medication to treat initial symptoms of nerve agents - Antidotal - not preventative.






32. Similar effect as shallow - but more contaminated waters






33. Shockwaves create damage and destruction - by the blast itself (initial) or by debris (secondary)
