Bioterrorism

This guide is an introductory list to help locate research materials at the Rowland Medical Library. Bioterrorism is the deliberate use of harmful and deadly biological agents including chemicals to harm civilians. An awareness of the characteristics and properties of harmful biological and chemical agents, the signs and symptoms of early onset of the diseases caused by these agents, and the preparations necessary will enhance the capacity to fight biological and chemical attacks.
