Fwd: REACT KITS and more
June 13, 2003
Dear Radsafers:
FYI, Los Angeles County has purchased this material for emergency response
use if there is a radiologic event. I understand that Sacramento County
has purchased part of it so far, and so has the State of Israel. I don't
know of any other source for this all-inclusive package. Some of you who
do emergency response may be interested. The package also includes
administration guidelines for physicians who are faced with the treatment
of internal contamination with radionuclides.
Ciao, Carol
Carol S. Marcus, Ph.D., M.D.
