Informationsbroschüre über Möglichkeiten der Kostenerstattung für psychotherapeutische Behandlung in Deutschland (auf türkisch).
(farsi version) Information brochure for parents on how to help traumatized children.
The purpose of this document is to inform the public about biological and chemical hazards and thereby prepare the population for an immediate response in the event of an incident until public health support is provided.
The agents reported here... are: Anthrax, Botulism, Haemorrhagic Fever,
Smallpox, the Plague, Tularaemia, Chlorine, Cyanide, Lewisite, Mustard Gas,
Ricin, Sarin, Soman, Tabun and VX. This list is not exhaustive and no doubt
other dangerous types could be produced. They have been selected as they are the most often mentioned threats. This information has been prepared with the public in mind, and thus much of the medical terminology has been removed and replaced with every day language.
