Pennsylvania Postal Site Receives Anthrax Detector

A system capable of detecting anthrax in the mail is being installed at a U.S. Postal Service facility in Bethlehem, Pa., the Express-Times reported yesterday (see GSN, July 5).

Postal Service spokeswoman Cathy Yarosky expects the Biohazard Detection System to be installed by July 23 as part of a nationwide effort to protect the mail.

Yarosky said she did not know whether the system, designed after the 2001 anthrax attacks, would be installed at other Lehigh Valley postal facilities (Jeff Schogol, Express-Times, July 7).
