This report describes existing and upcoming technologies, markets, business and funding opportunities related to producing, using, and/or stockpiling Chemical, Biological, Nuclear and Radiological (CBRN) decontamination equipment and materials for the purpose of decontaminating people, as well as indoor and outdoor environments.

Report’s highlights:

• The Obama administration is committed to accelerating the spending on CBRN mitigation programs. The “2009 Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act” alone provides funding for many CBRN mitigation goals. It includes over $2.7 Billion for supporting procurement and advanced development of CBRN and pandemic influenza medical countermeasures.
• The economic slowdown is forecasted to accelerate federal funding for the decontamination industry, as indicated by president Obama recovery bill, which includes job creation, counter WMD terror and a “Green” environment issues.
• Preparing for the aftermath of a CBRN event is a high priority mission of HLS policy and decision makers in the USA. Accordingly to the Homeland Security Threat Assessment for the years 2010-2014, CBRN attacks are considered the most dangerous threats that could be carried out against the U.S.

The research answers, among others, the following questions:

• What are the main drivers and inhibitors relevant to existing decontamination technologies and markets?
• What are the business opportunities that arise from the distance between existing technologies and products and the technologies and products required to provide needed protection?
• Who, in government, is involved with decontamination R&D, and what is the funding opportunities horizon through the end of the decade and the start of the next decade?

The systems reviewed in this report include the following modalities:

• Contamination detection systems
• Equipment, buildings and environmental decontamination systems (for sensitive and non-sensitive equipment and buildings, ground, infrastructure and environment decontamination, fumigation systems, foam/gel sprayers) – systems for decontamination of all contaminated objects, except people
• People decontamination systems
