Chemical Agent and Precursor Security (CAPS)

Chemical Agent and Precursor Security (CAPS) is a program designed to prevent the misuse of dangerous chemicals and their building blocks, which could be used to create chemical weapons. It involves monitoring and controlling the production, transfer, and storage of these substances to ensure they are used responsibly and safely. By implementing strict oversight and security measures, CAPS helps to prevent illegal acquisition or misuse of chemicals, protecting public health and national security from the threats posed by chemical terrorism or illicit activities.
