Bioterrorism & Biosafety Links

  • Shortly after 11 September 2001 the United States received another scare, this time caused by the so-called anthrax letters. These letters arrived in two waves. The first set was sent from Trenton, New Jersey to newspapers and media in New York and Boca Raton (Florida) on 18 September 2001. Only two of these letters were found but the outbreak of anthrax infections led to the conclusion that there were others. On 9 October two more letters were sent, again from Trenton, addressed to two Democratic senators at the Capitol in Washington DC. The material in these two letters was stronger than the substance in the first set. The letters contained approximately one gram of almost pure anthrax spores.
