Weapons of Mass Destruction vs. Agents of Mass Injury
Weapons of Mass Destruction vs. Agents of Mass Injury :
Chemical, biological, and radiological agents should not be regarded as weapons of mass destruction, but potential agents of mass injury. In this respect, they differ completely from nuclear weapons. The link between injury caused by CBR agents and loss of life can be broken or mitigated by the provision of equipment, organization and training for emergency responders.
