Contaminated mass fatalities following the release of chemical, biological, or radiological agents pose a potential major health hazard. A United Kingdom government investigation has identified a number of areas of risk. This paper presents an outline of the findings of the study and describes specific pathways for the management of contaminated and non-contaminated fatalities. Factors determining the choice between cremation and burial are discussed. Effective decontamination remains a neglected area of study for both fatalities and casualties.
受化学、生物或放射性制剂释放影响的大量污染死亡事件会构成重大潜在健康危害。英国政府的一项调查确定了若干风险领域。本文概述了该研究的调查结果，并介绍了对污染和未污染死亡事件的具体管理途径。文中还讨论了决定选择火化还是土葬的因素。对死者和伤员的有效去污仍然是一个被忽视的研究领域。
