Chemical Agents of Opportunity for Terrorism
In recent years, there has been growing concern that many of the most likely terrorist threats will involve “agents of opportunity” or materials that are readily available in most communities around the country.
This FREE one-day virtual course on August 30 will review the medical and psychological consequences of exposures to a variety of chemical materials. It will include practical information regarding scene safety for such agents as high potency fentanyl analogs, inhaled irritants, and much more.
This course is offered by the American College of Medical Toxicology (ACMT) in partnership with the Region 4 Southern Regional Disaster Response System (SRDRS).
Target Audience
The information presented will be of interest to state & local first responders, EMTs, paramedics, emergency nurses, emergency physicians, pharmacists, emergency response coordinators, public health officials, public health professionals, industrial hygienists and others involved with chemical terrorism preparedness and response.
