Biological terrorism, known as bioterrorism, is becoming an increasing danger to Western civilization. The possibility of terrorists obtaining extremely dangerous chemicals is rising alarmingly fast. In a biological attack, many people are likely to die or get extremely ill within the first few minutes, whereas in a normal bombing or shootout, fewer would be killed, and in a less inhumane manner, even though all forms of terrorism are unacceptable and will not be tolerated without any…

Many people think that conventional HVAC systems can filter out a chemical and biological threats if they are aerosolized. That is wrong, for a few reasons, a terrorists chemical or bio-weapon that becomes airborne is not suspect to being neutralized in a conventional HVAC system. If no chemical processes are used in the HVAC systems, such as deionization of UV light exposure to all particles passing through the systems, the weapon will still get some of the original concentration through the…

In opposition to the nurturing approach, “nativists take the position that all of most behaviors and characteristics are the results of inheritance” (Cherry n.pg.). Nativists believe that behaviors are from biological factors such as genetic codes and DNA. Theorists who consider themselves nativists accredits that actions result from evolution. This stance means that genetic traits are passed down through family members which create individual differences. A…

Bioterrorism is the use of biological agents as weapons of terror in order to cause fear among the general public, and this form of terrorism can have some short term and long term effects as it has the capability of being quite destructive. As a result of bioterrorist attacks, people can die, economies can be severely damaged, and the environment can be ruined. In addition, bioterrorist attacks have happened before within the United States of America, and one of the best examples is the anthrax…

Introduction There are many different CBRN agents and weapons. One of the most dangerous categories of CBRN are biological weapons. Biological weapons are multi-faceted and can cause various levels of damage. Agroterrorism is a form of biological warfare. This kind of terrorism is very dangerous to a countries way of life. Where other forms of warfare will kill people near the attack a biological attack can not only make people fall ill but also have significant long term effects. An…

Bloodstain Pattern Analysis also known as BPA is defined as the diameter and shape of blood splatters, which reflects the origin and trajectory of external blood flow in the context of homicide or violent death, in which the skin surface is disrupted (Medical dictionary https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Bloodstain+Pattern ). The development of bloodstain pattern analysis dates back to nearly 150 years ago in history and through the years there have been many studies, developments,…

Biological warfare, despite it’s modern sounding name, has been the world’s cheapest and most effective method of widespread killing for centuries, and reports of countries utilizing disease as a weapon date all the way back to the 1100s (and perhaps even beyond written record). Although ancient in origin, that does not mean the threat of widespread, virus-induced destruction is no longer a threat for the United States-- and the world as a whole. Treaties have been signed by all the major…

Due to the lack of supplies and hygiene in third world countries, a virus called Ebola has broke out.

With the right steps, this virus can be contained and eventually cured. Ebola is a deadly virus that first appeared in the year 1976, occurring in Sudan and the current Dominican Republic of Congo. The virus was named after a small river in the Dominican…

Richard Preston’s The Hot Zone is about the Reston virus, one of the five strands of Ebola, and its outbreak in Virginia in 1989, which startled the eastern United States. The story begins with a hot zone of the Ebola virus, Kitum Cave, in order to provide background information towards the virus and its hunger to take hold of a host. Over the course of the story Preston depicts the viral effects, emphasizes the passion of the scientist, and conveys the bravery in an almost disastrous situation.…

weaponing of a bio agent, which is the process of using an aerosol device to disseminate the bio agent in the air over a large population. Anthrax is easy to make, since it can be found in nature all around the world and anthrax has been used as a biological agent for centuries, which makes it very dangerous. Anthrax can spread through physical contact, but is not contagious. Anthrax, which is an inactive bacterium that can be found in naturally in…
