EPA'S Response To Anthrax Attack A 27 page paper. Anthrax-laced letters were discovered only weeks after the terrorist attacks of 9/11.

The U.S. Congress asked the Environmental Protection Agency to take control of the testing and decontamination of infected buildings. The EPA was basically operating in the dark; there were no protocols for such a situation. This paper discusses the extensiveness of the situation, the EPA's role in the projects, the criticism levied against the EPA and the final determination that this agency was successful in the cleanup. The writer also comments on the containment of anthrax to a very small number of infected persons. Experts report the numbers could have been much higher if the antibiotics had not been prescribed as a precautionary measure against the disease.
