dc.description.abstractThis paper examines the evolving threat of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) materials in terrorism, focusing on their potential use by terrorist organizations and challenges in detection and prevention. It outlines various CBRN materials, including chemical agents like nerve and blister agents, biological pathogens such as anthrax, radiological sources like cesium-137, and nuclear materials. Historical case studies, like the 1995 Tokyo subway sarin attack and the 2001 anthrax letters, illustrate their devastating potential. The Ukraine conflict is used as a case study to highlight increased CBRN risks in war-torn environments. Scenarios involving nuclear power plants or chemical facilities underscore the need for stringent security measures and international cooperation. Technological advancements in detection and response, such as wireless sensor networks, portable detection devices, and advanced decontamination solutions, are crucial. Public awareness and preparedness, through education and training programs for first responders, enhance community resilience and readiness. In conclusion, addressing CBRN terrorism requires a coordinated approach, including international cooperation, stringent regulations, technological advancements and public education.en
