11) Threat Agent Sciences

Abstract

Supports defensive countermeasure development against CB threats by delivering the scientific data, understanding, and relevant human estimates of the hazards posed to humans by exposure to CB agents. Toxicological and/or infectious-dose information and environmental response supports development and/or enhancement of both operational risk and exposure guidelines; identifies gaps in detection and protection; informs decontamination procedures; and supports the development of medical countermeasures. Knowledge generated from this program is used to inform understanding of hazards, hazard prediction models, and materiel and countermeasure development.
