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. 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 -






2. Redness of the skin - Intense itching and blisters






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






4. Similar effect as shallow - but more contaminated waters






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






6. Doubles as protection against a and






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






8. 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






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






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






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






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






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






14. 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






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






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






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






18. MOPP






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






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






21. PPE carried on person






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






23. Choking agents - Nerve agents - Blood agents - Blister agents






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






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






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






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






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






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






30. All PPE donned






31. PPE issued to each person - Mask fitted






32. 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)






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