	CBRN - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		CBRN is an acronym used extensively by the UK security services and the UK emergency services.
		CBRN refers to Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear weapons.
		In emergency services terminology, any incident involving unidentified substances is deemed to be a CBRN incident, requiring special procedures to protect emergency services personnel and the public.

	CBRN APR NIOSH Approved Respirators - NPPTL - NIOSH
		In response to a CBRN exposure event, emergency first responders should use NIOSH approved CBRN self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) respirators when the types of inhalation hazards and their concentrations are unknown or expected to be high.
		The CBRN APR full facepiece respirator provides a lower level of protection than the SCBA and its use is generally allowed once conditions are understood and exposures are determined to be at lower levels.
		The CBRN APR respirator should not be used in atmospheres where hazard concentrations are immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH), or oxygen deficient (contain less than 19.5% oxygen).

		It is anticipated that NIOSH CBRN approval for all classes of respirators will be available in the near future.
		Respirators chosen initially for responders going into a known release area where CBRN are suspected should be a positive pressure self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a fully encapsulating protective suit until monitoring results allow for other decisions.
		Areas in close proximity to the release area or that are known to be contaminated and certain job activities on the periphery of the event area should be considered for this zone.

		This total shows a continuing steep rise in frequency of CBRN incidents since 1998, when the number of incidents rose to 153 after an average of 42 incidents from 1995 to 1997.
		In 2000, a small majority of incidents involving CBRN materials were politically or ideologically motivated, a shift from the previous year, when criminally motivated incidents dominated.
		The United States is still the primary locus of incidents involving CBRN agents, although a decrease in the number of anthrax hoaxes resulted in a drop in the total number of U.S. incidents.

	Terrorist CBRN: Materials and Effects (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Al-Qa'ida and associated extremist groups have a wide variety of potential agents and delivery means to choose from for chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) attacks.
		Al-Qa'ida's end goal is the use of CBRN to cause mass casualties; however, most attacks by the group—and especially by associated extremists—probably will be small scale, incorporating relatively crude delivery means and easily produced or obtained chemicals, toxins, or radiological substances.
		It is not intended to be a summary of the overall threat from al-Qa'ida's CBRN program.

		These tools provide guidance to employers on how to assess a risk of a terrorist-initiated event, and provides notification, shutdown and isolation procedures, training and equipment guidelines, along with information on evacuating, sheltering, and accounting for employees.
		These escape masks have not gone through the NIOSH approval process at this time, and their performance in a CBRN event has not been fully validated.
		This requirement is especially critical since workers would be exposed to atmospheres that are largely unknown and could possibly present a hazard that is immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH).

	Perspectives - CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL, RADIOLOGICAL AND NUCLEAR (CBRN) TERRORISM
		This raises all kinds of tough questions about the appropriate responses to such threats, which may be extremely disruptive for normal, day-to-day activities, and may afford terrorist individuals and groups a potent instrument against society, even in the absence of a real capability or willingness to carry out an actual attack.
		The recent apparent resurgence of the Aum Shinri Kyo in Japan is also troubling, given the technical knowledge possessed by some of its remaining followers and the possibility of yet-undiscovered stocks of CB agents or precursors.
		Based on past examples, the type of CBRN terrorist incident most likely to be experienced by Canada in future is a hoax or threat rather than an actual attack, or a relatively low-level instance of product contamination rather than a mass-casualty outrage.
