12) Threat Agent Sciences
Abstract
Supports defensive countermeasure development against chemical and biological (CB) threats by delivering the scientific understanding and relevant 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 enhancing both operational risk and exposure guidelines; limits for detection and protection; goals for decontamination; and medical countermeasures. The knowledge generated from this program is used to inform understanding of hazards and hazard prediction models as well as to inform countermeasure development.
