persistent agent การใช้

• Defense against persistent agents requires shielding for extended periods of time.
• A special form of persistent agents are thickened agents.
• Deployment of persistent agents is intended to constrain enemy operations by denying access to contaminated areas.
• Chronic compression of the nerve root by a persistent agent such as disc, bone ( osteophyte ) or scarring can also permanently damage the nerve root.
• For decontaminating equipment and buildings exposed to persistent agents, such as blister agents, VX or other agents made persistent by mixing with a thickener, special equipment and materials might be needed.
• All of the V-agents are " persistent agents ", meaning that these agents do not degrade or wash away easily and can therefore remain on clothes and other surfaces for long periods.
• Decontamination is especially important for people contaminated with persistent agents; many of the fatalities after the explosion of a WWII US ammunition ship carrying mustard gas, in the harbor of Bari, Italy, after a German bombing on 2 December 1943, came when rescue workers, not knowing of the contamination, bundled cold, wet seamen in tight-fitting blankets.
