What is like to be caught up in a chemical attack?
Richard Gray, a BBC journalist, joined TOXI-triage team at the FTX DISPERSE in Mikkeli (Finland)
In this article he reflects on how much can be done after a chemical attack, such as the release of sarin gas in Tokio trains in 1995 that killed 13 people and injured thousands, to prevent a serious loss of life.
In TOXI-triage we believe technology could help emergency services to quickly acknowledge the situation, identify the toxic agent and rapidly diagnose and triage casualties greatly improving their chances of survival.
