This review is from: Emergency Action for Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents (Paperback)

If you work in field of Emergency Preparedness, Emergency Medicine, Emergency Medical Services, or are a student, this is a great reference book. Small and compact and gets the basic job done. While it is not the end all be all, it does provide a great deal of information concerning Chemicla and Biological weapons hazards.

This review is from: Emergency Action for Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents (Paperback)

of Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents, slightly rearranged. The bulk of this book consists of the abridged class indices (no rewriting, really -there are references to the agent descriptions that are in the Handbook but not in this book). The Class Indices are arguably the best part of the CRC Handbook of Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents, and if you are trying to decide which to buy, this is probably the one for you unless price is no object. But the class indices are very broad descriptions of the materials, and their utility in providing guidance for emergency action is really somewhat limited.
