Research abstract
Protection of agricultural areas requires a technology that can efficiently and continuously sample the air in order to allow early detection of airborne bioterrorism agents before they are spread over a large geographical area. This project aims at developing a field deployable aerosol collection system that is capable of sampling and concentrating airborne agricultural bioterrorism agents which would facilitate the early detection of such threats.
