Nowdays the biological threats are: CBRN war, CBRN terrorist attack, CBRN incident and pandemic attacks. Against biological attack, biological defense provides: Military: antiCBRN and sanitary units, Civilian: Public Health Departments, NGO: Red Cross and/or Red Crescent etc. Military Medical Units are: Military Hospitals, Field Military Hospitals, Military Microbiological Laboratory, Specialized capabilities BSL4 or BSL3 (secured laboratory), Specialized capabilities B3 or B2 (secured animal facility), Mobile Biological Laboratory. Specialized capabilities BSL 4 (the maximum containment laboratory): Biosafety Level 3 or 4 is designed for work with Risk Group 3 and 4 Microorganisms; Operational maximum containment laboratories Biosafety Level 4 should be under the control of national or other appropriate health authorities. Laboratory design and facilities (Primary containment): an effi cient primary containment system must be in place, consisting of one or a combination of the following; Class III cabinet laboratory. Passage through a minimum of two doors prior to entering the rooms containing the Class IIIbiological safety cabinets is required; Suit laboratory: a protective suit laboratory with self-contained breathing apparatus differs signifi cantly in design and facility requirements from a Biosafety Level 4 laboratory with Class III biological safety cabinets. Animal facility Biosafety Level 3: This is suitable for work with animals that are deliberately inoculated with microorganisms in Risk Group 2 or 3. The specifi c safety precautions apply. Romania is able to provide biological security in Black Sea and Balkan defense; Biological defense must be a collective effort, national and international; Military medical students are the future experts in CBRN medical protection.
