Items related to Chemical Warfare Agents: Toxicity at Low Levels
Many books cover the emergency response to chemical terrorism. But what happens after the initial crisis? Chlorine, phosgene, and mustard were used in World War I. Only years after the war were the long-term effects of these gases realized. In the 60s, 70s, and 80s, these and other agents were used in localized wars. Chemical Warfare Agents: Toxicity at Low Levels explores the long range effects of, protection against, and remedies for chemicals used during war and the chronic problems possibly resulting from toxic exposures during the Persian Gulf War.

Review:
"there is something here for everyone with an interest in chemical warfare agents. I recommend it for those interested in research or for those who are formulating plans for response to terrorism." - in Wilderness & Environmental Medicine "This book is a must-read for any scientist interested in the role of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. The detailed references along with nonjudgmental descriptions as to any causal relationship for the development of chronic neuropsychiatric disease make this a valuable informational source... The book is a valuable addition to the field." -Doody's Publishing
