 Safe Buildings Monitoring and Detection

  From 2003 to 2004, this effort verified the performance of technologies that monitor and detect chemical and biological agents in buildings and public, places. Resulting data can be used by facility managers, first responders, and other technology buyers and users. These technologies were verified through a contract with Battelle.

In 2004, testing of these types of technologies was transferred to EPA’s National Homeland Security Research Center (NHSRC) under its Technology Testing and Evaluation program.

The Safe Buildings Monitoring and Detection effort verified technologies include the following:
