Exposure Assessment During a Chemical Attack: Livestock Carcass Management
This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides an overview of proper carcass management in case of chemical emergencies.
Proper management of livestock carcasses following large-scale livestock mortalities protects humans, livestock, and wildlife from chemical and biological hazards; maintains air, water, and soil resources; protects ecological resources and services; and enhances food and agricultural security.
In support of the National Response Framework, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate funds research in collaboration the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA’s) Office of Research and Development, Homeland Security Research Program (HSRP) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to support the proper management of animal carcasses following major environmental incidents.
This 2 PDH online interactive presentation is intended primarily for chemical engineers and professionals who are interested in learning more about how to properly manage carcasses in an event of a chemical attack.
This continuing education interactive presentation is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with well-established methods with sufficient capacity for large-scale carcass management
- Learning about chemicals of concern representing two categories that have been involved in past emergency events
- Gaining information to compare options and support decision-making in the event of actual chemical emergencies
- Gaining an overview selection and priority setting for mitigation and best management practices
