Funded Activity Summary
Micro- and nano-particulate delivery systems for chemical and biological weapons: physical characterisation and risk assessment. Inert solid powder has been used as a carrier for chemical and biologically-active agents to increase their effectiveness in a range of applications such as chemical weapons, pesticides and insecticides. The aim of this research is to determine the influence of the physical characteristics of particulate delivery systems on their ability to deliver potentially toxic substances to exposed skin and through protective clothing. This data will provide the first step in the design and development of effective protective clothing/products and safety protocols to safeguard the health of Australians involved in the defence of Australia.Funded Activity Details
