Rules of conduct and actions of people at the foci of bacteriological destruction

The hearth of bacteriological lesion is called the city, other towns, the objects of national economy and the territories contaminated with bacterial agents and the sources of the spread of infectious diseases. Timely and effective measures to protect against bacterial agents, is largely determined by how well the signs of bacteriological attack of the enemy are studied.

At finding at least one of the signs of biological weapons by the enemy, you must immediately put on a mask (respirator, tissue dust mask or cotton-gauze bandage), if possible, and skin care products and to notify the nearest administrative body of the CD or medical facility. Then, depending on the situation you can hide in the protective structure (asylum, anti-radiation or simple shelter). Timely and proper use of personal protective equipment and protective structures prevent from getting bacterial agents in the respiratory system, on the skin and clothing.

18. The measures of prevention: Quarantine and observation. Disinfection and disinsection

Quarantine and observation

Quarantine is introduced with establishing the incontrovertible facts of the use of bacteriological weapons by the enemy, and mainly in cases of the use of particularly dangerous pathogens (plague, cholera, etc.). Quarantine regime provides complete isolation of the lesion from the surrounding population and is intended to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

Observation, which provides medical supervision of the lesions and the necessary treatment and preventive measures. Isolation and restrictive measures under observation are less stringent than in quarantine.

Disinfection and disinsection

Disinfection is aimed at decontamination of environmental objects, which are necessary for normal operation and safe location of people. Disinfection, for example, of areas, facilities, equipment, machinery and various items can be carried out using fire, agriculture, construction and other equipment. In the absence of these substances for disinfection of premises, equipment, technology hot water (and soap or soda) and steam can be used.

Disinsection and rodent extermination, which are known to be carriers of infectious diseases. To kill insects physical, chemical and combined methods are used; extermination of rodents in most cases is carried out with the help of mechanical devices and chemicals. Among desinsectants the most widely used drugs such as hexa-chloral, trichlorfon and etc.

 

19. Methods and means of application of bacterial agents. 


Pathogenic microorganisms are causative agents of infectious diseases in humans and animals, which, depending on the size of their structure and biological properties, are divided into the following classes: bacteria, viruses, fungi, spirochetes and protozoa.

Bacteria - single-celled microorganisms which are very diverse in their forms. According to the literature, almost all species of bacteria used as weapons of destruction, relatively easy to grow in artificial media, and their mass production is possible using equipment and processes used in industry in the manufacture of antibiotics, vitamins, and products of modern fermentation industries.
Viruses – an extensive group of microorganisms with a size from 0,08 to 0,35 micron.
Rickettsiae - a group of microorganisms, which occupies an intermediate position between bacteria and viruses. Their sizes - from 0,3 to 0,5 microns.
Fungi - one- or multi-cellular organisms of vegetable origin. Their sizes varies from 3 to 50 microns or more.example. Chronic meliodiosis The use of this disease may be different: the use of microbial cultures in bombs, projectiles, spray tank, spray gives different results. Also meliodiosis can be used for subversive detachment for contamination of air supply, water sources, storage of food.
