Chemical, Biological, Radiological (CBR) Decontamination Unit: U.S. Army Film (1974)
http://thefilmarchive.org/
CBRN (pronounced C-BORN or C-BURN) is an initialism for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear. It is commonly used worldwide to refer to incidents or weapons in which any of these four hazards have presented themselves. The term CBRN is a replacement for the cold war term NBC (nuclear, biological, and chemical), which had replaced the term ABC (atomic, biological, and chemical) that was used in the fifties. The addition of the R (for radiological) is a consequence of the “new” threat of a radiological weapon (also known as the “poor man’s atomic bomb”). Since the start of the new millennium, a new term — CBRNe — was introduced as a replacement term for CBRN. The e in this term represents the enhanced (improvised) explosives threat.
CBRN defense (CBRND) is used in reference to CBRN passive protection, contamination avoidance, and CBRN mitigation.
CBRN weapons/agents are often referred to as weapons of mass destruction (WMD). However, this is not entirely correct. Although CBRNe agents often cause mass destruction, this is not necessarily the case. Terrorist use of CBRNe agents may cause a limited number of casualties, but a large terrorizing and disruption of society. Terrorist use of CBRNe agents, intended to cause terror instead of mass casualties, is therefore often referred to as weapons of mass disruption.
A CBRN incident differs from a hazardous material incident in both effect scope (i.e., CBRNE can be a mass casualty situation) and in intent. CBRN incidents are responded to under the assumption that they are deliberate, malicious acts with the intention to kill, sicken, and/or disrupt society. Evidence preservation and perpetrator apprehension are of greater concern with CBRN incidents than with HAZMAT incidents.
Recent analysis has concluded that worldwide government spending on CBRN defence products and services will reach $8.38bn in 2011.
The United States Army uses CBRN as an initialism for their 74D Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Operations Specialists military occupational specialty (MOS). The United States Army trains all US Army soldiers pursuing a career in Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) at the United States Army CBRN School at Fort Leonard Wood.
The term (CBRNE) is also used to define the scope of the FA-52 (Nuclear & Counterproliferation Officer) functional area community.

Personnel Decontamination Biological Warfare 1953 US Navy
Biological weapons may expose workers to bacteria, viruses, or toxins as fine airborne particles. Decontamination by removing clothes and flushing or showering with water is the most expedient and the most practical method. Disrobing and showering meets all the purposes and principles of decontamination. Wetting down psersonnel as they start to disrobe speeds up the decontamination process and is recommended for decontaminating biological or radiological casualties. For more information on protections against biological agents, go to the NIOSH website http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2009-132/ . This is clipped from the 1953 Navy training film, Biological Warfare Defense which covers the means of dispersal of biological agents, protective measures, effects on personnel, treatment of personnel and decontamination of affected areas. The entire film is available at the US National Archive in College Park, Maryland.

Respirator or Surgical Mask Confusion or Why Healthcare Providers Need Occupational Health Training
A surgical mask is not a respirator and that’s an important distinction for physicians and all healthcare workers to understand. Unfortunately many healthcare employers and Infection Preventionist do not understand this important fact. Several reports from the US Institute of Medicine (IOM) over the past few years have address this and related issues. For the details of this debate, go to the 2009 IOM report at http://www.iom.edu/~/media/Files/Report%20Files/2009/RespProtH1N1/H1N1%20report%20brief%20FINAL%20for%20web.ashx . It is important that healthcare employers and workers understand the significant differences between these two types of personal protective equipment. The decision whether or not to require workers to use either surgical masks or respirators must be based upon a hazard analysis of the workers’ specific work environments and the different protective properties of each type of personal protective equipment. Respirators are designed to reduce a worker’s exposure to airborne contaminants. Respirators come in various sizes and must be individually selected to fit the wearer’s face and to provide a tight seal. A proper seal between the user’s face and the respirator forces inhaled air to be pulled through the respirator’s filter material and not through gaps between the face and respirator. Surgical masks are used as a physical barrier to protect the user from hazards, such as splashes of large droplets of blood or body fluids. Surgical masks also protect other people against infection from the person wearing the surgical mask. Such masks trap large particles of body fluids that may contain bacteria or viruses expelled by the wearer. Surgical masks are not designed or certified to prevent the inhalation of small airborne contaminants. An OSHA video describing the differences is found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovSLAuY8ib8 . All workers have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. Whenever respiratory protection is required to be worn to protect from hazardous airborne contaminants, the employer is responsible for implementing a comprehensive respiratory protection program and providing an appropriate respirator, in accordance with OSHAs respiratory protection standard, 29 CFR 1910.134. This program must include training, medical evaluation, and fit testing. When workers must wear a respirator to protect against airborne contaminants in the workplace, it is very important to follow proper procedures for putting it on and taking it off. For more on this important issues for healthcare, go to the OSHA factsheet, Respiratory Infection Control:Respirators Versus Surgical Masks at https://www.osha.gov/Publications/respirators-vs-surgicalmasks-factsheet.html . This is clipped from the 2000 video Biological Warfare and Terrorism: The Military and Public Health Response produced by the Department of the Army and the Food and Drug Administration. The entire video has been digitized by the nonprofit Public.Resource.Org (http://public.resource.org/index.html ) in a cooperative agreement with the National Technical Information (http://public.resource.org/ntis.gov/index.html ) and is available at the Internet Archive at www.archive.com .

Swine Flu: USA is Spraying Afrika’s Skies
“Look up! Look up!” When you look up into the sky you will often notice “vapor” trails, but it is not vapor that you’re looking at. Research “chemtrails” and you’ll find a deep winding rabbit hole. In the summer of 2009, Nigeria was tipped off by Chinese Intelligence that the United States of America was spraying Afrikan airspace with biological or chemical weapons. Nigeria grounded the aircraft and arrested the pilot and crew. Afrika is a testing ground for biological and chemical weapons but no matter where you are, there is a global war being waged against your mind and body and those of your loved ones. Welcome to the World War Zero: The Slow War.

IsoArk N36-2 – The Negative Pressure Isolation Chamber for ambulance vehicles and helicopters
The Negative Pressure Isolation Chamber IsoArk N36-2 for ambulance vehicles and helicopters.
The IsoArk N36-2 is a negative pressure isolation chamber to quarantine contagious disease patients.
The IsoArk N36-2 is ideal for pandemic prevention. (Influenza, swine flu, SARS, ebola, etc). All air is filtered to an efficiency of more than 99.9995% (@ 0.3 micron). That means that people outside are protected from being infected.
