Anthrax

Anthrax is an infections disease caused by the bacteria Bacillus anthracis. It is most commonly found in herbivores, but can be transmitted to humans naturally.

Anthrax came into the focus of the public eye in 2001 when a weaponized form of the bacteria was sent to the US Senate and several news outlets including ABC, NBC, and CBS. As of the writing of this (June 2006) the people involved in this attack have not been discovered.

At AllerAir Industries, a manufacturer of indoor air purifiers, we have received questions about the application of air purifiers for anthrax from private citizens and government agencies. We decided to create this information resource about anthrax to answer some of these questions. Follow the links to learn more about anthrax.
