    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Responding to Chemical, Biological, or Nuclear Terrorism: The Indirect and Long-Term Health Effects ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[ [pdf document, Kenneth C. Hyams, Frances M. Murphy, Simon Wessely, 2002] This article, by .Kenneth C. Hyams and Frances M. Murphy of the Department of Veterans Affairs and Simon Wessely of Guys, Kings and St. Thomas School of Medicine and Institute of Psychiatry, London, was written prior to the September 2001 terrorist attacks. They note that the possibility of terrorists employing chemical, biological, or nuclear/ radiological (CBN) materials has been a concern since 1995 when sarin gas was dispersed in a Tokyo subway. These incidents can cause widespread confusion, fear, and psychological stress that have lasting effects on the health of affected communities and on a nations sense of well-being. To respond effectively to CBN attacks, a comprehensive strategy needs to be developed that includes not only emergency response, but also long-term health care, risk communication, research, and economic assistance. Organizing an effective response challenges government institutions because the issues involvedeligibility for health care, the effects of low-level exposure to toxic agents, stress-related illnesses, unlicensed therapeutics, financial compensationare complex and controversial. In this revised version, the authors note that some of the concerns raised in the original manuscript about the acute health effects of a terrorist attack have come to pass, but they underestimated the impact that a terrorist attack would have, not only on the targeted community but also on the general population and its leaders.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[[pdf document,  U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 2002; October, 2001 draft]. This document was prepared by IT Corporation, Las Vegas, Nevada for the EPA&#039;s Office of Emergency and Remedial Response. It contains an analysis of the data collected by a range of government agencies of the materials present it the dust cloud that blanketed lower Manhattan after the World Trade Center attacks. The concern was that some of those materials, including asbestos, airborne metals in dust, and particulate matter, had the potential to cause health problems to workers and residents if they were present in sufficiently high concentrations. For this analysis, a database was constructed of the many kinds of data collected by these agencies. The data was then evaluated and sorted by date, concentration, and location to seek trends. Some statistical correlations were calculated. Preliminary conclusions warned that the large number of substances found required prioritization, since few substances had been thoroughly evaluated. Background data from New York City, prior to September 11, would be useful in establishing the impact of the WTC event. Several very high concentrations of many toxic compounds were detected in the bulk dust samples and low correlations between compounds from different classes suggested many different sources of contamination. This report was one of the references noted in the EPA-sponsored working group document, &quot;World Trade Center Indoor Air Assessment: &quot;]]></dcterms:description>

This report charges that the  EPA had &quot;abandoned its responsibilities for cleaning up buildings…that are contaminated or that are being re-contaminated, as a result of the uncontrolled chemical releases from the World Trade Center terrorist attack.&quot; While OSHA had concluded that all dust &quot;must be presumed to be asbestos containing material&quot; and must be cleaned up according to national standards, the report alleges that young children were still being exposed to airborne pollutants in homes and schools and that further efforts were needed to correct these conditions. The memo concludes with a series of questions about EPA actions to date.]]></dcterms:description>
