Hazardous chemical, radiological, and nuclear materials threaten public health in
scenarios of accidental or intentional release which can lead to external
contamination of people. Without intervention, the contamination could cause
severe adverse health effects, through systemic absorption by the contaminated
casualties as well as spread of contamination to other people, medical equipment,
and facilities. Timely decontamination can prevent or interrupt absorption into
the body and minimize opportunities for spread of the contamination, thereby
mitigating the health impact of the incident. Although the specific
physicochemical characteristics of the hazardous material(s) will determine the
nature of an incident and its risks, some decontamination and medical challenges
and recommended response strategies are common among chemical and radioactive
material incidents. Furthermore, the identity of the hazardous material released
may not be known early in an incident. Therefore, it may be beneficial to
compare the evidence and harmonize approaches between chemical and radioactive
contamination incidents. Experts from the Global Health Security Initiative's
Chemical and Radiological/Nuclear Working Groups present here a succinct summary
of guiding principles for planning and response based on current best practices,
as well as research needs, to address the challenges of managing contaminated
casualties in a chemical or radiological/nuclear incident.
