CBRN Safety 050
CBRN Safety 050 : Chapter I - Overview: (5) General Planning Considerations for CBRN Response: (A) (2) Chemical Agents, Industrial Chemicals, and Their Effects: (a) The JFC may be required to manage the consequences of a deliberate or accidental release of chemical agents (chemical substances intended for use in military operations to kill, seriously injure, or incapacitate mainly through their physiological effects) or toxic industrial chemicals (TICs) (chemicals developed or manufactured for use in industrial operations or research). (b) The risks associated with TIC release vary. Such risks include inhalation, absorption, or ingestion of a lethal or incapacitating dose as well as secondary complications such as asphyxiation, smoke inhalation, and fire. The use of appropriately certified PPE is critically important during responses to CBRN incidents involving TICs. (c) The scope of these environmental and industrial hazards may be quite extensive in an industrialized area. Any site that stores or uses TICs may pose a threat to personnel even if the site is operating under normal conditions. Industrial accidents or sabotage, such as destruction of a large industrial complex, may release these potentially toxic substances
