Integrating dispersion modelling and experimental approach to optimize indoor/outdoor detection of airborne agents

The overarching objective of the ERNCIP “Detection of Indoor Airborne Chemical & Biological Agents” Thematic Group (TG) is to strengthen resilience of critical infrastructure against airborne CB threats by improvement of detection capabilities. The subsidiary aim of the research described in this technical report is to develop knowledge on the behaviour of chemical releases, given some likely attack scenarios, and to propose ways to optimally detect those inside buildings. Making use of a combined approach consisting of experiments and dispersion modelling is considered a strong endeavour towards this aim.
