註釋The purpose of this report is to identify and describe those biological risks of which Emergency Preparedness Canada should be aware, in particular those risks associated with biotechnology research and applications. An introductory discussion on the nature of biological risk is followed by highlights of legislation that either reduces chances of a biological accident or supports Canada's emergency response capability to such an accident. The report then describes naturally occurring biological risks such as animal diseases and toxins on fungi and molds, as well as deliberately induced risks caused by terrorism or warfare. Separate sections discuss the risks associated with biotechnology and deficiencies in the operational procedures surrounding biological research and application. The report concludes with recommendations to address those deficiencies.
