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. Similar effect as shallow - but more contaminated waters






2. 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 -






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






4. PPE issued to each person - Mask fitted






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






6. Doubles as protection against a and






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






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






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






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






11. Redness of the skin - Intense itching and blisters






12. 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)






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






14. Pocket dosimeter; personal meter to determine overall exposure to harmful radiation in a given setting.






15. 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






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






17. 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






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






19. All PPE donned






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






28. MOPP






29. PPE carried on person






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






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






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






33. Choking agents - Nerve agents - Blood agents - Blister agents
