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






2. 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






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






4. 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 -






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






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






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






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






9. All PPE donned






10. 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






11. Doubles as protection against a and






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






13. Similar effect as shallow - but more contaminated waters






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






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






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






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






18. Redness of the skin - Intense itching and blisters






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






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






21. PPE issued to each person - Mask fitted






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






23. MOPP






24. Choking agents - Nerve agents - Blood agents - Blister agents






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






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






27. PPE carried on person






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






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






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






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






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