The first edition of this book, Chemical Warfare Agents: Toxicity at Low Levels, was published just prior to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The second edition titled, Chemical Warfare Agents: Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Therapeutics,
included new epidemiological and clinical studies of exposed or
potentially exposed populations; new treatment concepts and products;
improved organization of the national response apparatus addressing the
potential for CWA terrorism; and improved diagnostic tests that enable
rapid diagnosis and treatment.

Since the second
edition, the chemical warfare agent community has worked hard to advance
research for protection and treatment and develop/improve response
approaches for individuals and definitive care. Consequently, in
addition to updating previous chapters, Chemical Warfare Agents: Biomedical and Psychological Effects, Medical Countermeasures, and Emergency Response, Third Edition
features several new chapters that address the Syrian War, chemical
destruction, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons,
biomarkers for chemical warfare agent exposure, field sensors, aircraft
decontamination, lung/human on a chip, chemical warfare response
decision making, and other research advancements.
