N2 - The attacks with CBRN (Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) agents are more and more a concern for the security of the world, especially since some terrorist groups have access to CBRN weapons. This work reviews the developments on CBRN protective clothing and concludes that this is a field of growing interest from researchers all over the world. The research focus on several aspects: military boots, protection clothes, forecasting models of protection and comfort characteristics, the importance of improving the comfort and physiological stress, development of membranes and construction models, etc. The developments that arise in this work are spread over several areas, demonstrating that multidisciplinary knowledge is an important factor for a more efficient and effective progress on CBRN clothing.
