Abstract
In the response to deliberate-release toxins there is a risk to treating staff by contamination with the poisons used. Key to the management is the use of personal protective equipment and the decontamination of casualties before invasive medical care begins. There are a small number of expected chemical agents likely to be used in deliberate release, each has its own clinical characteristics and management.
