Advancing technologies and shifting industrial landscapes are among the many factors that are changing the nature of terrorist threats. This study is designed to strengthen the capacity of the U.S. to address modern and emerging chemical terrorism threats. The study will assess the current state of U.S. capabilities for identifying existing and emerging sources of chemical terrorism threats, including distribution and availability of raw materials and the availability of knowledge of chemical threat agent synthesis. The study will develop a set of best practices and recommendations for those who work in prevention and response, including policymakers, first responders, and researchers.
