Detection and Decontamination

FCH-BCO_DADAcad. year: 2009/2010

Detection and decontamination

Principles detection of contamination components life environment with chemical agents, fissile products, bacteriological (biological) and toxins resources. Methods and instruments for detection and monitoring contamination of environment. Prediction of zone contamination, organization of monitoring (survey) and long - term monitoring. Organization of warning system. Decontamination components life environment, objects, materials, foodstuffs, persons and animals, its specialities. Organization decontamination and sanation at major accidents and after using of mass destruction weapons. Methods and instruments for decontamination, check of operation decontamination, organization changing and stock replenishment.
