SPATIOTEMPORAL INFLAMMATION ASSOCIATED WITH AGENT EXPOSURE
Abstract
Despite over 100 years of developing countermeasures against them, chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial chemicals are still some of the most feared and deadly weapons on earth. In addition to classic chemical warfare agents (CWA) (i.e., HD, GB) and toxic industrial chemicals (TICS) (i.e., CL), newer pharmacological agents (Fentanyl) have now proven to be exceedingly toxic, and have the potential to be used in lethal wide-scale attacks. Fentanyl is becoming an increasing threat, with many efforts being dedicated to preventing accidental exposures in emergency responders. While these agents can represent many different classes of compounds with disparate physicochemical, physiological, and pharmacological properties, a common human response feature is inflammation.
