Glossary The following glossary provides, for reference, brief definitions for several terms as used in this paper in the context

Finally, in Section III, we offer a summary and conclusions. We believe that the results of this paper suggest that the AIDS is to be recommended as a vehicle

Steps in the protocol must be practiced before a hazardous materials emergency occurs. EMS personnel should know their responsibilities and how to perform them, and all required equipment should be readily accessible and ready to use. EN ROUTE TO A HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SCENE First responders must be alert for hazardous materials when responding to every call. The dispatcher may provide information such as unusual signs and symptoms (e.g., pungent odor, eye irritation) or the address might suggest that the call may involve a chemical release. The presence of hazardous materials may be obvious, as in the case of noxious fumes, gasoline, or corrosive liquid spills. In other situations, the hazardous nature of the chemical(s) may not be immediately apparent, as with odorless but poisonous and/or flammable vapors and liquids, or radioactive materials. If a vehicle has a diamond-shaped placard or an orange-numbered panel on the side or rear, the cargo should be assumed to be hazardous. Unfortunately, not all hazardous materials transport vehicles are clearly marked. Many delivery trucks regularly carry hazardous materials that could be released in a
