The problem of chemical weapons (CW) releases in large buildings is a less severe scenario than that posed by biological weapons. Options for CW agent defense are limited to air purging and gas-phase filtration equipment such as carbon adsorbers. Analysis of CW agent release scenarios is currently limited by available information on CW agent removal rates and equipment performance. Options and recommendations for CW agent protection will be developed through discussion with building management if such protective systems are desired.
