While industry experts from well-known organizations, such as the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) Inter-national, formulate plans to deal with bioterrorism inside buildings and other structures, individuals and companies are working on ways to stop bioterrorism before it has a chance to spread — by tightening building security.
