U.S. EPA. Developing a Table of Forces for Human Activity as It Relates to Reaerosolization and Exposure to Bacillus anthracis Spores from Outdoor Urban Surfaces. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, EPA/600/R-16/129, 2016.

Impact/Purpose:

The purpose of this project was to evaluate forces generated by human activity that may cause reaerosolization of Bacillus anthracis spores in the aftermath of an intentional release. Understanding human interaction is important to inform communities on activities that may cause the re-distribution of spores. This report presents the results of an extensive literature review of human-surface interaction forces with respect to Bacillus spore reaerosolization in the outdoor environment.
