The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Research
and Development is striving to protect human health and the
environment from adverse impacts resulting from acts of terror by
investigating the effectiveness and applicability of technologies
for homeland security (HS)-related applications. EPA has identified
detection of pathogenic micro-organisms in environmental samples
following a terrorist attack as a critical component of an
effective response. Detection of such pathogens would require
development and validation of sampling techniques that could be
used by multiple laboratories following a homeland security event.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), part of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), has extensive
knowledge of potential biological hazards. In this book, CDC, in
collaboration with EPA, developed and improved methods for
extraction of Bacillus anthracis (BA) spores from soil. This book
also investigates the efficacy of four chemical decontaminants for
inactivating Bacillus anthracis (causative agent for anthrax)
spores in soil.
