摘要: Understanding the fate and transport of biological agents into buildings will be critical to recovery restoration efforts after a attack in an urban area. As part Interagency Biological Restoration Demonstration (IBRD), experiments were conducted Fairfax County, VA, study whether agent can expected infiltrate following wide-area release. Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki is common organic pesticide that has been sprayed County for number years control gypsy moth. Because bacterium shares many physical properties with anthracis, results from these studies extrapolated bioterrorist In 2009, samples collected inside located immediately adjacent spray block. A combined probabilistic targeted sampling strategy modeling provide insight likely methods infiltration. Both simulations experimental resul...
