Science Technology have an important role to
play in Homeland Security
Detection sensors, detectors,
micro-chemlab, molecular recognition,
atomic and molecular spectroscopy.. Prevention
tracking/control of radiological materials,
production methods that minimize hazardous
chemicals Protection filters, membranes,
fabrics for protective clothing. Response and
Recovery catalytic destruction of chem/bio
agents, actinide chemistry
