| abstract | - The Biological Bomb, also known as the 'bio-bomb' or 'blue rinse' is one of the centaur Foaly's inventions and arguably one of his deadliest weapons. The bio-bomb is typically used to neutralize biological life while all inorganic matter intact. It is a last resort used by the LEP when all other methods of have failed. According to the books, the active agent is light, which means that it can be focused to be effective in a certain radius. It is also said that the radioactive element utilized in its core is solinium 2, which has a half life of fourteen seconds. The bio-bomb is a very accurate 'smart bomb' which proved itself capable of sailing straight through the window of Artemis Fowl II' third floor suite at the Kronski hotel when he is attacked at the start of The Opal Deception The clever thing about the bio-bomb is that it only attacks living tissue, this coupled with the fact that the casing is vaporised upon detonation makes the cause of death for a victim of it indeterminable, allowing the LEP to use it above ground in emergencies without any risk of people suspecting anything other than natural causes.
