"Biological agents are infectious through one or more of the following mechanisms of exposure, depending upon the particular type of agent; inhalation, with infection through respiratory muscosa or lung tissues; ingestion; contact with the mucous membranes of the eyes, or nasal tissues; or penetration of the skin through open cuts (even very small cuts and abrasions of which employees might be unaware)."
- www.bt.cdc.gov







"The primary route of infection for biological weapon agents is by inhalation, although other routes such as ingestion, dermal abrasion, and intentional precutaneous have proven effective. Since biological weapon agents are nonviolatile (do not evaporate), they must be dispersed in aerosols as 1 to 5 micron size particles (1/30,000 of the diameter of a hair follicle). At this size, particles deposit deep into the terminal air sacs of the lungs, causing disease."
- Characteristics of Biological Warfare Agents
Gases To Sprays In Microns
  • Gases and Vapors - fumigation
  • Aerosols - suspension of liquid or solid particles, 0.1 to 50 microns in diameter Liquid particles form fog. Solid particles form smoke.
  • Mists - between aerosols and fine sprays, 50 to 100 microns
  • Sprays - most commonly used formulation.
  • Fine spray droplets 100 - 400 microns in diameter.
  • Course spray droplets over 400 microns in diameter
