Simulation Modelling of Ecological Appearance

Abstract

The effective dissemination of CB agents is generally considered to be more difficult than their manufacture. For example, the popular scenario involving the poisoning of the water supply of a major metropolitan area does not appear very feasible given the large quantities of agent that would be required and various filtering or purification measures usually in place. On the other hand, the water supply for a discrete installation could be vulnerable, as would be air conditioning systems of even quite large public buildings or tunnel networks, such as subways. Similarly, domed Sports stadiums have been described as "ideal" targets for a terrorist CB attack intended to kill tens of thousands of people.
