War Gases, Their Identification and Decontamination

Our aging population and the recall of the old to industry under the needs of war call increasingly for the physician's attention to the problems of aging. Instruction in this field must come to most practitioners through experience supplemented by the reading of relevant material such as is presented in this book. The appearance of a fourth edition of this volume within 25 years is testimony of its past acceptance and of the author's interest and qualifications. The content is well selected and shows a judicious emphasis on the various aspects of the care of the aged. The style of presentation makes for easy reading. Of particular interest to the student are the first two sections, comprising a third of the volume, devoted to "General Considerations" and "Miscellaneous Geriatric Problems." References for collateral reading are abundantly provided. This was designed as a working manual for war gas officers and chemists of defense units in the United States of America; the scope is such, however, that there are contained therein methods and technics which are likewise useful to the research worker in this field. A classification of the various chemical warfare agents is presented with the physical characteristics of each. The physiological effects are stated briefly, but adequately for the purpose of the book. The main body of the text consists of a description of the action of the various gases upon such materials as textiles, metals, food, and water supplies, with the detailed procedure for their sampling and testing for contamination. Finally, methods of decontamination are described, varying of course with the type of chemical agent and the material involved. Abundant references enhance the value of this useful book. This large volume, being a compilation of contributions by more than 30 authorities in the medical, biological, and sociological fields, furnishes a reference book of the broadest scope, whose comprehensiveness is further
