- Anthrax-laced letters were sent to the Senior Librarian recently. After the building was evacuated and all of the potentially exposed workers had received antibiotics to prevent the establishment of infection, no one was sure how to disinfect the building to make it safe for the return of workers. Your team has been hired by the Management to develop a plan to decontaminate the Building Complex after the arrival of anthrax-laced letters. The Building Complex contains thousands of valuable documents that cannot be destroyed. Workers need to be able to return to the buildings, although they do not need to return immediately.

The admitting nurse, who put her arm around one patient, also developed a rash and itch on her arm. A policeman who went to the apartment the following day and a trash collector at the building also developed itching and received emergency room treatment. In all cases, symptoms disappeared in 1-2 hours. An industrial hygienist went to the site in complete protective gear to look for possible chemical contamination.
