24
What is the definition of viable
Capable of living growing and developing
25
What are the 4 methods of delivery?
Aerosol Munitions Vector Contamination
26
What are the 3 routes of entry?
Inhalation Injection Ingestion
27
What is the general information and characteristics of anthrax?
Spread by bacteria that transforms into spores that in turn infect anything they come into contact with. Infection can attack the lungs to produce pneumonia and the skin to produce a localised reaction when skin turns black and dies.
28
What are the symptoms of anthrax?
``` Itchy skin High-temperature Severe cough Swelling to the throat Difficulty in breathing Internal and external skin tissue damage ```
29
What is the rate of action of anthrax?
The initial symptoms can be seen within 1 to 7 days
30
What are the protective timings for the NBC suit: Thickened blister agent Gross liquid contamination Vapour Hazard only Normal wear and tear
Thickened blister agent 6hrs Gross liquid contamination 24hrs Vapour Hazard only 24hrs+ Normal wear and tear 28 days
31
What are the canister timings for all nerve and blister agent (except CX)?
3 hours
32
What are the canister timings for all other agents plus CX (except CK, CG)?
30 minutes
33
What are the canister timings for CK and CG?
15 minutes
34
What is the shelf life of a canister once un-wrapped?
4 months from unwrapping
35
What is the protection life of NBC gloves outer against gross liquid contamination?
3 hour
36
What is the protection time of NBC gloves outer if decontaminated within 15 minutes of initial contamination?
24 hours
37
How long will the overboots give protection against gross liquid contamination?
24 hours
38
What is the purpose of the splash suit?
To extend the life of an NBC suit
39
Where could a splash suit be utilised?
Vehicle and equipment decontamination
40
What must be used in conjunction with the BC suit?
SCBA
41
What is the maximum and minimum operating pressure for the SCBA?
300 and 240 bar
42
How many litres of air does the SCBA hold?
2400ltr
43
What is the approximate duration use of SCBA?
60 minutes
44
When the whistle is operated on the SCBA how much time and how much pressure is remaining?
12 minutes and 60 bar
45
What is the un-charged weight of SCBA in steel and Kevlar?
Steel 17 kg | Kevlar 8 kg
46
When calculating the endurance of the SCBA, what are the calculations?
Breathing rate of 40 ltr per minute 3/2/4 300bar x 2 cylinders x 4 ltr = 2400ltr ``` Duration 2400 ltr / 40 ltr/min = 60mins Alarm whistles at 60 bar 60 bar x 2 cylinders x 4 ltr = 480mins 480 / 40 = 12mins (to return to ICP) 60mins - 12mins = 48mins Planning time 40mins ```
47
What are the 5 checks for SCBA?
``` Does it work How much air Does it leak Does the mask seal Does the whistle work ```
48
When testing the SCBA for leaks what is it that we're looking for?
With the air turned off looking to lose no less than 10 bars of pressure in 60 seconds
49
If they SCBA is contaminated what do we clean it with?
With hot soapy water with a pressurised complete set
50
What are the 3 methods of dissemination?
Liquids Solid Vapour
51
What are the factors affecting the duration of effectiveness?
Physical and chemical properties Methods of dissemination Terrain conditions Weather
