Abstract

Many chemical products can be used for terrorist purposes, as they have the potential for seriously intoxicating many people and creating a risk of secondary contamination. Despite precautions taken by the authorities with respect to emergency responses and equipment for protection, decontamination and treatment, victim management remains difficult. Theoretical and practical training is compulsory. Fundamental research, notably in enzymatic and biomolecular engineering, has identified very promising proteolytic agents that may be used for protection and treatment of those exposed to organophosphorus nerve agents and insecticides.
