“It has been shown that some waterborne pathogens, such as Cryptosporidium and Bacillus anthracis, areresistant to disinfection by chlorination. The tolerance of a number of other potential water threats—such asBrucella species, plague, and smallpox—disinfection by chlorination is unknown or unpublished.”In “The Biological Threat to U.S. Water Supplies: Toward a National Water Security Policy” by Jennifer B. Nuzo
“A study that examined the financial impact of the 1993 Milwaukee Cryptosporidium outbreak estimatedillness- related costs (medical costs and productivity losses) of more than $96 million.In “The Biological Threat to U.S. Water Supplies: Toward a National Water Security Policy” by Jennifer B. Nuzo
“Attacks on drinking water supplies could be mounted for between $0.05 and $5.00 per death, usingrudimentary techniques, and could amass casualties in the thousands over a period of hours.”In “Terrorism vulnerabilities to the water supply and the role of the consumer: a water security white paper” by Dan Kroll,Karl King, Terry Engelhardt, Mark Gibson, and Katy Craig, Hach Homeland Security Technologies
“Studies conducted by the U.S. Air Force and Colorado State University have shown this to be a highlyeffective means of contaminating a system.These studies show a few gallons of highly toxic material wasenough, if injected at a strategic location via the proper method, to contaminate an entire system supplying apopulation of 100,000 people in a matter of a few hours”In “Terrorism vulnerabilities to the water supply and the role of the consumer: a water security white paper” by Dan Kroll,Karl King, Terry Engelhardt, Mark Gibson, and Katy Craig, Hach Homeland Security Technologies
