Canadian research in defence against chemical and biological warfare (CB) agents continue to provide the Canadian Forces with defensive equipment that is among the best in the world. Over the years, DRE Suffield has generated a considerable, unmatched reservoir of knowledge - not only of CB agents, their toxicology and infectivity, but of the behavior of liquids, gases and aerosols released in the atmosphere. Information developed by and available at DRE Suffield is of great value to environmentalists, meteorologists, public health authorities and industrial chemists, as well as the Canadian Forces.
CB warfare continues to pose an ever present danger to the Canadian Forces in their worldwide peacekeeping assignments. In the Gulf War, DRDC Suffield deployed CB defence equipment for the Canadian Forces. An antidote for nerve agent (HI-6), a skin decontaminant (RSD), a CB agent sampling kit and detectors for CB agents were all direct applications of ongoing research projects.
