About This Presentation

Slide 1 - Prepared by the Medical Association for Prevention of War Chemical and Biological Weapons
Slide 2 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 2 Biological and Chemical Weapons Which states possess them What they are The threat of terrorism The international response
Slide 3 - Where Are They?
Slide 4 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 4 Current Stockpiles
Slide 5 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 5 Current Stockpiles
Slide 6 - What Exactly Are These Weapons?
Slide 7 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 7 What Is a Biological Weapon? Uses a living organism or its toxic agent delivery device Both conventional and unconventional means of delivery
Slide 8 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 8 Thin fragile aluminium cylinders filled with nitrogen under pressure to create an aerosol and release organisms when the bomb lands A PRIMITIVE BIOLOGICAL WEAPON DELIVERY DEVICE - Aerial Bomb Explosive
Slide 9 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 9 Bacteria: Anthrax, Brucella, Melioidosis, Tularaemia, Plague Toxins: Botulinum, Ricin Rickettsiae: Q fever, Rickettsia (eg RMSF, Epidemic Typhus) Fungi: Histoplasma, Cryptococcus Viruses: Smallpox, Dengue, Yellow Fever, Ebola, Hanta, Lassa Fever, Marburg, Rift Valley fever, (Flu), Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis, Chikungunya ALSO: Animal, Plant Pathogens (eg FMD, West Nile virus, Wheat Rust, Glanders) BIOLOGICAL AGENTS WITH POTENTIAL AS WEAPONS - A Selected List
Slide 10 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 10 BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS : Choosing An Agent Availability - may be straightforward eg Iraq-anthrax (from CDC) Contagiousness - eg smallpox, plague - rapid epidemic development Mortality -eg Marburg virus Suitability for dissemination in infective form eg anthrax, Q fever highly resistant to dessication, heat, long viability Lack of effective treatment or prophylaxis: eg Ebola, Marburg, Smallpox (manipulated?) for those responsive to antibiotics (eg Plague, Glanders) look for new resistant types
Slide 11 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 11 Advantages Of Biological Weapons Multiple Methods For Delivery Wide Utility - non-discriminating, cause sickness, death, panic, may disseminate widely, may be persistent Good Logistics - cheap to make and store Versatile - can be in small or large quantities Defence May Be Difficult Cause No Damage To Infrastructure Easy To Conceal ‘Status’ WMD - ‘poor man’s nuclear weapon’
Slide 12 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 12 Slow Onset (except toxins) Indiscriminate Difficult To Control Distribution Esp If Contagious Preventive and/or Treatment Measures For Some Lack Of Impressive Precedents Level Of Technical Sophistication At Least Moderate International Taboo Disadvantages Of Biological Weapons
Slide 13 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 13 What is a Chemical Weapon? Uses the toxic properties of chemicals Inexpensive to produce Thousands of chemicals can be weaponised Both conventional and unconventional means of delivery
Slide 14 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 14 Chemical Weapons Lethal Agents Blood Agents: Nerve Agents: Cyanogen chloride (CK) Tabin (GA) Hydrogen Cyanide (AC) Sarin (GB) Blister Agents: Pulmonary Agents: Lewisite (L) Chlorine Sulfur mustard gas (HD, H, HT, HL, HQ) Phosgene (CG) Non-Lethal Agents Incapacitating Agents: Riot Control Agents: Agent 15 (BZ) Pepper Spray (OC)
Slide 15 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 15 Advantages of chemical weapons Inexpensive to produce Multiple means of delivery Psychological as well as physical impact ‘Status’ WMD - ‘poor man’s nuclear weapon’
Slide 16 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 16 Disadvantages of chemical weapons Some agents require sophisticated chemical processing Often unpredictable effects Effects may not be confined to a target area International taboo
Slide 17 - How are these weapons used?
Slide 18 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 18 Both biological and chemical warfare have a very long history WWI: Chemical weapons used by both sides WWII: Biological and chemical weapons used by Japan, chemical weapons used by Germany History of Biological and Chemical Weapons
Slide 19 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 19 History of Biological and Chemical Weapons: The Cold War Dwarfed by Cold War nuclear threat Research and development continued Chemical weapons used in: Yemen Afghanistan Iraq Chad Iran Biological weapons less usable 1972 Biological Weapons Convention
Slide 20 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 20 Both chemical weapons and biological weapons have been used on numerous occasions in last 25 years Biological weapons are generally more suited to terrorist use Terrorism and Biological and Chemical Weapons
Slide 21 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 21 WHO Report ‘…every major new technology of the past has come to be exploited, intensively, not only for peaceful purposes, but for hostile ones.’ ‘..the spread of advanced biotechnology and the new accessibility of information about it offer new tools to any country or ill-minded group intending to develop a biological weapon.’ WHO 2001
Slide 22 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 22 ‘The accessibility of biological agents on a militarily significant scale has been much enhanced by advances in industrial microbiology and its spreading practice throughout the world.’ WHO 2001 WHO Report
Slide 23 - Case study
Slide 24 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 24 Biological weapon first choice As early as 1990 they had a lab for biotoxins (eg Botulinum) Released Botulin toxin near the Diet in April 1990 to no effect Attempted to make an effective aerosol for Botulin, Anthrax, Cholera and Q fever 1993 sprayed Botulin toxin in Tokyo to coincide with the wedding of the Crown Prince - no effect June 1993 released Anthrax spores from a roof in Tokyo - again no observed effect Total 9 failed Biological attempts in central Tokyo Turned to chemical weapons – Sarin THEIR STORY SHOWS THE DIFFICULTY OF CONDUCTING A SUCCESSFUL BIOTERRORISM ATTACK Case Study: Aum Shinrikyo
Slide 25 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 25 Why is Anthrax So Popular As a Biological Weapon? Spores Are Tough Fairly Easy To Culture Have A Long Shelf-life
Slide 26 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 26 What is Anthrax? A Disease Of Grazing Animals Bacillus Anthracis
Slide 27 - MAPW (Australia) Bio & Chem Weapons 2006 27 What Does Anthrax Do To a Human? A skin infection, Nasty but treatable with antibiotics More serious intestinal disease - frequently fatal Inhaling the spores – nearly always fatal Incubation period is anywhere from two days to two months
