The filter system shall include a- series redundant-parallel Chemical Biological Radiological (CBR) filter assembly with a capability of placing a detector between the adsorber banks to warn of "breakthrough". The system shall provide accessibility to filters for repairs, maintenance and leak testing. 

The Criminal/Terrorist use of Chemical/Biological/Radiological agents includes differences between a chemical, biological, and radioactive agent (page 354). 

Page 354 Covers Criminal/Terrorist Use of Chemical/Biological/Radiological agents, and differences between a Chemical, Biological and/or a Radiological agent, and indicators of a possible chemical incident. 

The deadly terrorist bombings of July 7, 2005 in London again demonstrated that even sophisticated terrorists capable of planning and executing multiple, coordinated attacks continue to rely on traditional weapons rather than risk the technical and political uncertainty of chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear (CBRN) weapons. While terrorists have the motivations and capabilities to conduct large (and small) attacks worldwide, we have not yet witnessed the use of so called weapons of mass destruction (WMD) foreshadowed by the 1995 Sarin attacks in...

At the beginning of the twenty-first century new threats to human well being have emerged, which stem from terrorist activities. Potential use of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear warfare (CBRN) in terrorist events is considered to be very likely, and on a small scale it has already been used in the past. CBRN threat however is not limited to malicious intentions and can be caused by a careless attitude towards the use of technology and equipment, breach of safety rules, or triggered by natural disasters or environmental pollution.

Military support to civil authorities is the final tier in the nation s disaster response system. Federal resources that may be implemented in the event of a major biochemical or radiation disaster are the U.S. Army Special Medical Augmentation Response Teams. The mission of the SMART teams is to provide short-duration medical liaison to local, state, federal, and DOD agencies responding to disasters, civil-military cooperative actions, humanitarian assistance missions, weapons of mass destruction incidents, or chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive incidents. There are 37 SMART teams, including two burn SMART teams operated by the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical... 

Describe general signs and symptoms of exposure to selected chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive agents (CBRNE). 

The need for effective terrorism preparedness, encompassing chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) agents, has placed new demands on the PHN. To continue in the tradition of assessment, assurance, and policy development, new skills must be developed relating to CBRNE events.
