Environmental Air Sampling to Detect Biological Warfare Agents [PDF]
Military Medicine, 1999 The rapid and unequivocal detection and identification of biological warfare agents is a major goal of military and civilian defense authorities. To identify agents of concern in an environmental sample, a reliable, region-specific characterization of the microorganisms found naturally at the sampling location is required.

Biomaterials for Mediation of Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents [PDF]
Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering, 2003 Recent events have emphasized the threat from chemical and biological warfare agents. Within the efforts to counter this threat, the biocatalytic destruction and sensing of chemical and biological weapons has become an important area of focus. The specificity and high catalytic rates of biological catalysts make them appropriate for decommissioning ...
