Chemical and Biological Terrorism identifies the R&D efforts needed to implement recommendations in key areas: pre-incident intelligence, detection and Identification of chemical and biological agents, protective clothing and equipment, early recognition that a population has been covertly exposed to a pathogen, mass casualty decontamination and triage, use of vaccines and pharmaceuticals, and the psychological effects of terror. Specific objectives for computer software development are also identified.
The book addresses the differences between a biological and a chemical attack, the distinct challenges to the military and civilian medical communities, and other broader issues. In addition, although technological innovations are encouraged, the committee also recommends building manpower and other simpler mechanisms for civilian protection.
