Abstract
BIO-TERRORISM THREAT MITIGATION
Overview
- Understanding the importance understanding how airborne particles behave
- Computer models to describe open air release of Anthrax
Creation of 300 m x 100 m testing facility
- Determine distance traveled based on spore size and wind speed
- Determine important parameters for facility to safely control dispersion
Importance of the problem to society
- Immediate bio-terror-threat response training
- Contamination remediation for first responders
- Future response plans including timely contamination zone determination
This must be researched in order to plan for an undesirable event
