Immune Building Systems Technology is a comprehensive guide to the design of building systems for protection against bioterrorism and chemical weapons. It provides a detailed database of chemical and biological weapons and presents the most detailed history of their use yet published. The modeling of buildings and ventilation systems is treated in detail and simulated biological attacks on many types of buildings are summarized. The predicted effectiveness of air cleaning technologies
is demonstrated by comparison of estimated casualties under various attack scenarios. Various technologies are covered including filtration, UVGI, ozone, pulsed light, and other subjects include mail disinfection systems, decontamination and remediation of buildings, control systems, risk estimation, epidemiology, and the economics of air cleaning. Building vulnerabilities are discussed and Security and Emergency procedures are addressed, as well as guidelines for sizing building protection systems. This book is designed to serve both as a textbook and a reference for critical information. It should serve equally well in the hands of engineers, building managers, security personnel, health care workers, military personnel, and anyone
with an interest in enhancing the protection of their homes or offices against bioterrorism or any form of microbiological contamination.
