The relative ease of dissemination [of biological weapons] affects the level of effort and scale of preparation required... Unlike the chemical poisons which, for mass dissemination, require complete weapon systems of a type not likely to be available to terrorist organizations, use of biological pathogens is virtually identical with certain biological weapons applications which do not require massive weaponry... The search capability of the aerosol cloud(it seeks out its victims) ;its potential for large area coverage; and the fact that the respiratory form of most diseases, the form resulting from aerosol particle inhalation, is usually the most severe form, are the factors which make biological weapons aerosols truly mass destruction weapons. 1, record 8, English, - aerosol%20cloud
