CBRN

Senior Airman Akil Ochoa, a 51st Medical Operations Squadron medical technician, checks the blood pressure, heart rate, and internal temperature of an Airman pre-and post-wear of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear protection suits during an integrated base emergency response capability training exercise held at Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea, Aug 4, 2015. Studies on the effect CBRN equipment has on the wearer show that temperature increases while wearing the suits. The increased heat can cause a dangerous spike in the core body temperature of the wearer, resulting in loss of dexterity, cognitive thought and reduced motor skills. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt.
