This book presents research into chemical, biological,
radiological and nuclear (CBRN) defense and environmental
security, exploring practical implications of the research.
Contributions from a diverse group of international civilian
researchers present the latest work on nanotechnology problems in
this area, looking at detection, protective technologies,
decontamination and threats to environmental security due to
bacteriophages and nanomaterials.

Highlights include the potential of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)
to characterize the nanoscale properties of microbial pathogens,
the development of bacteriophage-based therapeutics, prophylactic
and diagnostic preparations and their uses in different fields,
such as medicine, veterinary, agriculture, food and water safety,
amongst others.

Readers may also consider an inexpensive bioassay suited for
assessing chemical poisoning in the environment such as the
presence of pesticides, sensors to detect ultra-trace quantities
of the explosive Pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) using
nanotubes and electrochemical sensors to simultaneously detect
and reduce the explosive trinitrotoluene (TNT) to
2,4,6-triaminotoluene (TAT) in solution.

This book shows how cooperative research among NATO countries and
NATO partners can make a critical contribution to meeting the
opportunities and challenges of nanotechnology problems relevant
to chemical and biological defense needs. The papers
presented here are representative of contributions made to the
Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on September 22-26, 2014 in
Antalya, Turkey, to address the NATO SPS Key Priority of Defense
against CBRN Agents and Environmental Security.
