SESSION 12 - PART 1

(Building F - GROUND FLOOR - F, Fl. 0)

(Room S.3)

Rapid detection and identification of biological and chemical agents represent one of the major challenges today. The presence of environmental chemical and biological pollutants, arising from industrial and research facilities, may prohibit the use of some techniques that are used for the detection and identification of Chemical Warfare and Biological Warfare Agents. This session examines the latest techniques that can be employed to detect and identify both civilian and military materials.
