Visual clues include - Answer✔fire or vapor clouds, visible corrosive actions/chemical reactions,
pooled liquids, condensation on pressure tanks, and injured casualties displaying signs and
symptoms.
Smell - Answer✔Some chemical agents are accompanied by a characteristic odor that may
provide a warning. After a while, however, people may become used to the chemical and no
longer detect the smell. A chemical may still be present even if there is no detectable odor. It is
important to note that a particular odor may be completely inconsistent with its surroundings.
If a particular odor is detected, the area should be evacuated immediately to avoid a potentially
dangerous situation. Do not enter a potentially contaminated environment to smell for an
indicator.
Do not touch or taste - Answer✔any substance
Inhalation - Answer✔Inhalation occurs when gases or aerosols are breathed in.
Ingestion - Answer✔Ingestion occurs when residue has settled on food or drink, and then the
products are eaten.
Absorption - Answer✔Absorption is when an agent comes into contact with the skin or mucous
membranes (i.e., nose, mouth, eyes, open sores, wounds, and/or punctures) and is absorbed
into the body.
Injection - Answer✔Injection includes any process by which a toxic substance is introduced
directly into the blood via needles, sharp metal, or any other mechanical means. Contaminants
entering the bloodstream through an open wound can be considered to be injected.
Types - Answer✔There are many chemicals that can cause harm or injury to individuals who
come into contact with them. The Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) includes examples of
TICs and CWAs, including their chemical classifications.
Dissemination - Answer✔Chemical agents may be delivered by many methods, including
sprayers and breaking and bursting devices. It is important for awareness-level
personnel/responders to assist in recognizing and identifying chemical agents.
