chemical and biological defense

Chemical and biological defense refers to measures taken to protect individuals and groups from harmful substances, such as toxic chemicals or biological agents like viruses and bacteria. This involves strategies for detection, protection, and response. Detection includes identifying these threats early, while protection may involve specialized clothing or shelter. Response plans ensure that organizations can effectively manage and mitigate the effects of any attack or incident. Such defenses are crucial for military operations, public health, and national security to ensure safety against potential threats that can cause sickness or harm on a large scale.
