Counterfog is a new, rapid response system for collapsing all kinds of dispersed agents (smoke, fog, spores, etc.) by using a fog made of a solution that could contain any kind of neutralizing component. Tests in the Fog Dynamics Laboratory with surrogates of biological agents have been carried out. The results show that the new Counterfog technology is able to decontaminate the air with a minimal use of harmless, low-cost, and eco-friendly resources.
