216 Medical Aspects of Biological Warfare

Water bodies and water systems are essential for survival and protecting them against terrorist threats like biochemical warfare agents and against threats from toxic industrial chemicals is of at most importance. This paper will examine the issues in protecting water bodies and water systems against waterborne biochemical warfare. We will also present preliminary ideas on a sensor network-base...
