I would suggest you contact the Chemical Hazards and Poisons Division of the Health Protection Agency. They are based in Cardiff and used the be the National Focus for Chemical Incidents before the HPA was formed. They have been doing a massive amount of work on emergency response to chemical (and other) incidents since 9/11 and the anthrax scares and should be able to help.

We are being asked to assess our ambulance staff and I am as yet waiting to find out what sort of suit they will have to wear, whether it involves full B.A., and whether any of the kit contains latex. I would be interested to hear from anyone who is already doing this or who has any advice. Many thanks Su Porter Snr.
