NATO Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) defense

NATO CBRN defense involves measures to protect personnel, equipment, and environments from chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats. It includes detection systems to identify hazards early, specialized gear and protective clothing to prevent exposure, decontamination procedures to remove harmful agents, and training to respond effectively. The goal is to minimize health risks and ensure operational readiness in the face of such threats, whether from accidents or intentional attacks. NATO works collaboratively to share knowledge and develop strategies that enhance safety and resilience against these complex hazards.
