Scott,
I certainly share your sentiment regarding weapons of mass distruction and a certain amazment at our willingness to continue to think up new and more horrible ways to kill eachother. But I don't think that every internet posting needs to be a scholarly essay. I have written my share of those, believe me, and this simply isn't the right format for that sort of thing.
Your caution regarding the proliferation of false advice is appreciated and I don't disagree that there is too much disinformation out there. This article however is not specific enough to require that level of support you are asking for. It is just a few general rules of thumb for emergency situations. More like first aid than medical diagnosis.
I have quite a bit of expereince with emergency medical situations and having read this carefully I can't think of much I would do differently in the same circumstance. Don't panic, get out the the area, clean youself off, seek medical attention. Stabalize and transport, its the mantra of every EMT and ER-MD in the land.
Regarding you requests for alternate or subsequent sources for additional material, I was hoping that others might chip in a bit and between the lot of us we might put together a series of reasources to use. Unfortunately, this hasn't been the case but I was trying to spark a little conversation on preparation not footnoting technique.
Owell...
