Under the definition of "unconventional events", all those characterized by the malicious dispersion into the environment, due to human errors or natural events, of those elements potentially linked to mass massacres which are currently included in the acronym NATO CBRN or , preferentially in the civil sector, in the analogous NBCR: this acronym therefore includes elements of a chemical, biological or radiological-nuclear type.
