755 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book presents the advances in the investigation of CBRN events including deliberate acts of terrorism, accidental releases, or natural disasters.

The information such as identifying the type of CBRN agents used, determining their source and origin, assessing the extent of contamination, and linking the evidence to individuals or groups responsible for the incident is crucial for law enforcement, intelligence agencies, emergency responders, and policymakers in preventing future incidents, mitigating the effects              of              attacks,            and       ensuring           public  safety. The proposed book provides this information by presenting a comprehensive understanding of CBRN agents, their effects, and forensic techniques to detect and mitigate the effects. There is a lack of comprehensive information on tools for collection, preservation and analysis of CBRN forensic evidence which this book covers. The book presents case studies and practical examples illustrating the application of CBRN forensics in real-world scenarios. It provides insights into the indicators, patterns, and markers associated with CBRN incidents, enabling readers to identify potential threats, develop risk mitigation strategies, and enhance security measures.

The book serves as a valuable resource for professionals already working in the field of CBRN forensics, offering them updated information on emerging techniques, advancements, and best practices. It also targeted at first responders in emergency response such as fire-fighters, paramedics, law enforcement officers, government and military personnel responsible for CBRN defense and security, and policy makers involved in the development of strategies and operating procedures.
