L
ately the threat of terrorism carried out with unconventional weapons seems to be increasing. Fear of the use of chemical or biological
weapons (CBW) has been in the minds of first responders and the general public since the first real terrorist attacks, beginning with the use of Sarin poison gas in Matsumoto city in 1994 and the Tokyo subway in 1995. A few years later, almost right aſter the 9/11 attacks, numbers of anthrax letter attacks were executed in the US in 2001. These are horrifying real-life examples of how chemical and biological weapons can be used in the modern world to create chaos and confusion amongst public citizens. Aſter the assassination of Alexander
Litvinenko in 2006 with the rare radioisotope Polonium-210, there has been an increased amount of discussion about the use of nuclear materials in acts of terror. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the illicit

trafficking of nuclear materials has grown during the whole 21st century. Due to this fact the use of an improvised nuclear device for example a weapon made of stolen, highly-enriched Uranium or the use of radiological dispersion devices (RDD) or other types of non-explosive radiological dispersion events (RDE) might be the next act of terror. Environics Oy is a company which
has grown to be an expert in the area of CBRN Security. Today the company’s portfolio includes everything from chemical warfare agent detectors to wide-area CBRN security monitoring networks as well as training and consulting services. Environics has over 20 years of experience in the design, development and manufacturing of CBRN detection products and systems. Environics is consistently providing state-of-the-art products to its customers due to the very innovative and up-to-date R&D. The large amounts of satisfied customers prove that we have been able
to build long-term relations with custom- ers and partners in many countries. One of the latest addition to Environics’ wide range of CBRN-solutions is the beginning of sales and manufacturing of turn-key solutions against radiological and nuclear threats. As an example of these solutions we can name the Helsinki-Vantaa airport passenger and luggage monitoring system, where each passenger and luggage will be screened with Environics radiation identification technology. Another example is the delivery of
the RanidSonni vehicle for detection and analysis of radiological and nuclear threats. The concept is the first of its kind in the worldwide market. The vehicles enable the detection and identification of a radiological threat faster than ever before. The first vehicle to Ukraine through IAEA has been successfully delivered. Just recently Estonian Environmental Board ordered a new RanidSonni vehicle from Environics. The delivery takes place during year 2013. zy
