BioWatch System

The BioWatch System is a public health initiative in the United States that detects biological threats, such as harmful germs or viruses, in the air. It uses a network of air sampling devices placed in urban areas to monitor for possible bioterrorism attacks or natural outbreaks. These devices analyze the air for biological agents and quickly alert authorities if a threat is detected. This early warning helps in responding swiftly to protect public health and safety. By monitoring pathogens, the BioWatch System aims to prevent or minimize the impact of biological attacks or epidemics.
