 Abstract:             
              Chemical, biological, and radioactive (CBR) threats are generally only recognized after a catastrophic event such as terrorism or sabotage occurs. This work aids building owners and operators in determining appropriate risk management both during normal operations and when emergencies occur.                 Read more...
