摘要
Despite banned by regular armies since the decade of 1980, chemical and biological agents are the first choice weapons for terrorist groups worldwide because of their cheapness and facility of obtaining. The risk of a chemical or biological terrorist attack today is very real and no nation in the world could be considered totally safe. This situation evokes the need of continuous personal capacitating worldwide with expertise to deal with such matter. In this work we present the discipline "Chemical Defense" conceived with the goal of providing the chemical engineering undergraduate students at the Military Institute of Engineering in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with the basic principles knowledge on chemical and biological defense.
