What types of Biological Weapons could an emergency responder face?

1 1. What types of Nuclear / Radiological weapons could an emergency responder face? Emergency responders may encounter a wide range of nuclear weapons in case of a nuclear-related attack or accident. The types of nuclear weapons they could face include thermonuclear weapons, dirty bombs, and atomic bombs (Martellini & Malizia, 2017). All these weapons have a devastating effect on human, animal, and plant life, hence highly dangerous to rescuers due to their radioactive nature. 2. What types of Biological Weapons could an emergency responder face? Emergency responders can encounter biological weapons such as anthrax, hemorrhagic fever viruses, T-2 mycotoxin, ricin, botulinum toxin, plague, and staphylococcal enterotoxin B. The other biological weapons include agents that cause brucellosis, pneumonic plague, tularemia, Q fever, and glanders (Martellini & Malizia, 2017). In the case of biological weapons risk, the responders should understand the weapons used to ensure that they have the right protective measure in place.
