* Australia - TO PREVENT TERRORISM: NEW CHEMICAL SECURITY CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED
* Australia - New Chemical Security Campaign Launched
Canberra,ACTA,Australia -ATA Friday Facts -24 May 2013: -- Attorney-General, Mark Dreyfus, has launched a new campaign to prevent terrorists from accessing chemicals that can be used to manufacture explosives... The campaign calls upon the chemical supply chain, including businesses that transport or store chemicals, to be vigilant and to report suspicious activity to the National Security Hotline... Mr. Dreyfus said the new chemical security website had a list of 96 chemicals of security concern, which have the potential to create explosive devices. “The challenge for government is that when used properly, these chemicals are widely used for a variety of legitimate business and household applications such cleaning or fertilising the lawn but in the wrong hands, these chemicals can be lethal:” -- “Drain cleaner and rust remover - some of these products contain nitric or sulphuric acid" ..
-- “Model engine fuel – many model engines run on nitromethane, a chemical with explosive properties greater than TNT" ...
-- “Pool sanitiser" – this product contains hydrogen peroxide, which is the necessary chemical to make an explosive known as TATP (tri-acetone tri-peroxide). It is called ‘Mother of Satan’ by terrorists because it is so dangerous to handle. This was the explosive used to attack the transport network in London" ...
The ATA and other industry bodies are working with governments to develop a national code of practice to prevent the loss or theft of chemicals through the chemical supply chain...
