Exposure Levels in Humans. Hexachloroethane has not been detected in human tissues as a result of exposure to this chemical from environmental media. Biological monitoring data were not located for populations surrounding hazardous waste sites. Hexachloroethane has been detected in the plasma of workers at concentrations of 7.3 6 pg/L, despite the use of protective equipment including disposable overalls and compressed-air-fed visors or full-facepiece masks with filters (Selden et al. 1994). Because of protective equipment, exposure concentrations could not be related to plasma levels of hexachloroethane. 

When an explosive device is used to disperse radioactive, chemical, or biological materials, the treatment of casualties is more difficult because of the presence of contamination. In this situation, emergency responders could face a life-threatening situation unless appropriate precautions are taken. These precautions include using screening instruments (see Section 6.12) to assess hazard conditions before responding, then selecting the appropriate level of personal protective equipment (see Section 6.7) to provide protection from the hazard. 

Materials For this procedure a number of key items are required, which are listed below. It is important to note that, as with many molecular biology techniques, exposiue to certain reagents involved in this procedure (such as ethidium bromide) is dangerous, so appropriate personal protective equipment (particularly gloves) is essential. 

Navy readiness for chemical and biological warfare defense needs improvement in the following areas establishment, validation, and enforcement of standards, performance and material condition of installed protective systems, availability and condition of protective equipment, shelf life of medical countermeasures, field exercise programs, basic and unit training, and readiness reporting.
